Re: what size wrenches and sockets and extensions?

thanks. Is a 1/2 and 3/8 good for the clicker-type wrench sizes? (one long, one short)- long one for first torque, short one for final torque?

Why did you make a new thread? I already answered your question.

I've personally never heard of anyone bothering to use two different torque wrenches when doing a head gasket. Grab a 1/2 torque wrench and you'll be fine. You'll appreciate the leverage too.
