As with most things on the internet, this question has been answered and beaten to death over and over. The engineering behind the torque values is defined in this post: Do your math and find the answer The torque required for a bolted joint design comes from a long string of calculations, but...

As with most posts here, this question has been asked countless times. The search function is not the best unfortunately, but worth a try. Here's a long, rambling post that covers all of the different lubes. http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=85494

Yes, excellent. As you know it is very expensive, but a little goes a long way. A small $30 tube will last a lifetime. Worked at the plant where it's made, got a few "samples". Lubed several dual 80's and a number of older style ratchets and torque wrenches. Will likely never touch them...

Commonly used on emergency vehicles. http://www.batterychargers.com/se-1-12s-ca/

They do. Embedded ultrasonic transducers to measure fastener elongation. As mentioned, torque is an inferred measure of clamping force. Typically used with hydraulic tensioning tools in aerospace, nuclear, and petrochemicals equipment. The fasteners used in automotive applications are small...

Krytox® Grease. A dab is worth more than the ratchet.

Find a Parker Store in your area. They'll have the individual O-Rings and can recommend the material. Enter zip code: http://www.parker.com/portal/site/PARKER/menuitem.659b30e162bcddfe50a05764427ad1ca/?vgnextoid=f12854f908743410VgnVCM10000014a71dacRCRD&vgnextfmt=EN Page 187 has material...

Just used this product on a car door with the same issue you're having. Used the extension tube up through the drain holes, and through another access hole at the back below the latch. Hoping it stops the rust on the inside. External was treated with rust converter after removing the remaining...

It was a slug of liquid versus a stream, you may have done damage. Rotors can flex and contact the housing, shaft can break, typically near the face of the rotor. If it is running normally now, you likely dodged the bullet & should be ok. They're surprisingly rugged.

My former company purchased about 100 of these lights. Installed in very difficult to reach spots in a chemical plant. The need to replamp traditional fixtures in the processing areas and shops was a big expense, and hazardous. The lights are very robust and bright. Not targeted to a home shop...

Be sure your tank can withstand the vacuum level that the pump can generate.

Wrong. There is a simple torque correction formula for various thread lubricants. Fasteners don't self loosen due to anti seize, they loosen if the pre load is insufficient. From another long winded thread about the exact topic: Re: Torque number with Anti-seize The torque required for a...

Not sure where you inferred that a pneumatic test was proposed. That type of testing is allowed by the various ASME test codes, but at a reduced pressure (typically 1.1 X MAWP). Many companies prohibit those tests regardless, due to the significant risk involved. There was a recent explosion...

If the gouge is below the minimum allowable wall thickness, it can be welded by a certified welder and hydro tested (1.5X MAWP). If the minimum wall thickness is maintained (as measured with an ultrasonic instrument), the gouge can be feathered to eliminate the stress risers. Mooky National...

Pulled that same engine out of a Spider, one guy on each side of a 4x4. Light engine, don't over think it.

DuPont spun off their coatings division (and my division) to a new company , Axalta. Imron is a current product, might have changed the product codes though. Distributor locator: http://www.axaltacs.com/us/en_US/products-services/liquid-coatings/commercial-transportation/distributor-locator.html

Check your windshield pillars carefully (A pillar). A friend's 1974 GTV had corrosion underneath the windshield rubber (like you already found), as well as down into the fender. Complex shape to hammer out, but we did make a repair piece and welded it in. Accessed the back side through the...

This has been done by a number of governing bodies and industry societies (ASME, ISO, API, CAGI). The current best practice is a simplified version of ISO 1217, found in appendix C. CAGI has a synopsis here...
