Hello Gentlemen, I'm putting the head back on the 170 gas, and was wondering what everyone uses to get the proper torque values on the nuts that hold the water outlet to the block. Was thinking of using a crow foot adapter, but wasn't sure if that would effect anything or not. Any advice is appreciated, thank you! |

| I had no luck using a crow foot. Ended up getting a 2" long box wrench with ⅜ square drive on the end then calculated the new torque wrench setting. |
