by as little as 5 percent, when it's used
to torque a connecting rod to 125 lb/ft,
you could either be overtightening and
stretching the rod bolt by as much as
.003" or leaving a rod bolt loose. Either
way, there will be engine damage when
the engine operates at over 10,000 RPM.
SAFETY FIRST
Lastly, I need to mention tool safety.
Some of my pet peeves include seeing
a technician using dirty or oily tools.
This can cause the technician to lose
their grip on the tool and injure themselves. Using tools in ways they weren't
designed for, such as a screwdriver used
as a prybar, is also a bad idea. My least
favorite thing to see is a technician using
a ratchet or wrench with their fingers
wrapped around the tool. I know tool
makers have made great efforts to make
their tools comfortable in your hand, but
wrapping your fingers around the tool
when you are breaking a fastener loose
will cause injuries if the wrench slips.
Since there's no protection around your
hand or fingers, if a slip happens, your
fingers will be between the wrench and
whatever part on the car is stopping the
wrench. My advice is to use the palm
of your hand to push the wrench. That
way if it slips, the wrench will hit the
obstruction and not injure your hand.
Hand tools may seem to be a simple
topic, but the right tools for the right job
will make your life easier, and in many
cases, your jobs more profitable. See you
at the races.
p Organization for each workstation
is key to efficiency.
