[QUOTE="denbsteph, post: 1412565, member: 103701"] In my opinion I believe those that have chimed in have opened my eyes to the stretch of threads, their limits as far as what type of torque can be enforced/introduced on them. The cheap Chinese metals that are being flooded into this market, the strict and meticulous ways of the Japanese etc, etc,etc. I'm not a motor head nor do I hold an Engineering degree, but I have learned something from ALL the individuals who have posted here. We all take what we want to read/hear, run it through our brains and decide if it is good enough, if it is, we keep it retained until that day it is needed to be brought out. If we don't want it then we spit it out and let it be on its merry way for someone else to use. I will say, every time I read the service manual yesterday on the KDX, I seen VERY few instances were any type of "Loctite" was recommended. So I did what the manual said, no loctite, it did not get it. If it said coat with 2 stroke oil I did. Any who, I received valuable info from EVERYONE, even though the thread did get "hi jacked ", LOL!!! I did eventually get a Torque wrench, I spoke to a motor head who works at a local Toyota shop, he stated use common sense when using it, wind it down when done with it and get one I feel will do the job, most of all take care of it don't drop it, don't use it as a breaker bar. Thanks again,Dennis [/QUOTE]
