Hi guys I am going to be doing the lower and upper intake manifold gaskets and valve cover gaskets on my 2004 buick with 3800 series ii engine. I do not own any torque wrenches but now would be the time to buy some.
I won't use the torque wrenches often. I don't want to cheap out, but don't want to spend too much on something I hardly use.
Will need multiple wrenches.
Have to torque the following:
LIM bolts - 11 lb ft
various items - 37 lb ft
UIM bolts - 89 lb in (7.5 lb ft)
Also might want something for 4L65E tranny pan bolts - 7 to 10 ft lb(not as important)
Not sure what torque ranges I'll need in my wrenches or how many wrenches I'll need.
Do like made in usa but not sure what prices are like.
Thanks
