Torque loss with a universal socket?

Oldmanmopar said
I never used a torque wrench on and intake to this day. I always started in the middle and worked my way out . "Snug", "snugger", "tight", "real tight". Using what ever wrench or socket I could get on them. After heated I would go to "super tight". then "Super Duper Tight" Its all in the wrist action. you'll hear your Knuckles crack when they are good. LOL

Haha, I’m familiar with all those torque settings! The only reason I actually torqued the intake was because this is my first rebuild, and I’m trying to everything to spec if I can. I’m glad you mentioned going back and re-snugging after it’s been heated, that’s probably something I would’ve overlooked. Again, just a newbie thing I s’pose.
