quick torque wrench question (changing spark plugs)
If I use a 6 inch extension to reach the spark plugs will the lb/ft be off from the extension?
its just a cheapo sears wrench, and no, I do not feel like "hand tightening" the plugs, I would rather have it exactly 13 lb/ft (00 ex coupe).
Thanks.

13 lb/ft shouldn't be enough to flex the extension to any noticeable amount unless it's made of clay or something.

Re: (EJ8_Enthusiast)
Hypothetically an extension should never change torque specs enough to add more to the value given. That's why they always give a + or - reading for any inacuracy in the wrench or extension
