Hi, I saw that on you tube I don't have that tool. Did not think about pricing one as yet. Thank you

Hi, Good morning, I did not check it for flatness going to look up some you tubes to see how that should be done, I believe I torqued them to 250in/lbs which I believe is about 18ft/lbs. Not sure about the 3 step torque though so I'll attempt to find that information as well, I'm not sure I had...

Thanks again, have good rest of your day

Thanks so much StarTech, it's good to have some conformation, those are the values I used, I went with 4 and 6 on the valves, I got it back together run's a whole lot better has a slight pop to it but overall, I think I did a fairly good job on my first time tinkering this far on a tractor. I...
