    so ill be embarking on my first engine rebuild soon and wondering what the options are RE a suitable torque wrench. Ive always used a machine mart jobbie for other jobs, but im assuming when it comes to engine components accuracy is critical. Should i be looking at a better quality one? What do you guys use?

    I have two halfords ones. A 0-60nm and 60-200nm and they are great. Lifetime guarantee on both for good money. Just store them at 0, so not under torque all the time.

    Another vote for Halfords, seventeen years old ... guess it needs recalibrating now !
