Interesting post but I have a question about the judges tearing down a built engine and then checking for correct torque. I remember my high school shop teacher telling me that once a bolt or nut is torqued say to 75 pounds, that you have to loosen it off to make sure it is 75 pounds by retorquing it. If you wrench on a nut that is 75 pounds already with your wrench set at 75 pounds, you will go over the 75 setting. Maybe I'm not explaining this correctly, hopefully someone will know what I mean. Maybe I'll try a separate post on the subject later. Anyways, I wonder how the judges did their check.
