Gooey assembly lube, or a high-zinc oil soak? (I think assembly lube's best purpose is just to stick things together that might fall out in the process.)Now I just gotta put the thing together!

I wore it out to the point that the pump puked oil all over everything near it every time I used it. Then I cut it up and made a welding cart out of it.Big bore short stroke I hope. Good to see you back again FHB. Do you still have the dyno? Have you perfected it yet?
Get yerself a nice Craftsman deflection-type torque wrench. With the specified 1/4" 12 point socket it clears the case with a little bit of room, but not much. Enough to work with though.The question I seriously can't figure out ......how do you get a torque wrench into the case fir the final torque ? I can see pre torqing in a vice for plastigage reading......I can barely get an end wrench in a 212 case to tighten the rod caps.....with no torque reading.
heard of harbor freight? Not the best but they do work and are with in tolerance for the first several times you use them. They do degrade but for single cylinder aI cant find ANY 1/4 drive, beam style torque wrenches that do over 80 inch pounds,,,,the arc rod needs a final tighten of 200 inch pounds.
does yours do that ? and if so...what brand and part # please

Try Craftsman 44690. 3/8" drive. It's what I use, and goes up to 75 ft/lbs. Great wrench!I cant find ANY 1/4 drive, beam style torque wrenches that do over 80 inch pounds,,,,the arc rod needs a final tighten of 200 inch pounds.

Got you.No thats just what Speed demon recommended !... and I don't think a 3/8 drive will fit in the case of a 212 to torque rod bolts
They work just fine for engine stuff! Click style wrenches are just more convenient is all, but as a whole beam style is more flexible, and I know the Craftsman one I mentioned clears a Briggs 5 HP crankcase. Can't speak for Predators though as I haven't torn one all the way down yet.beam style are good for lug nuts and the like...
