Funny story, at the 2014 national meet in Puyallup, I was working with the repair tent. We had some guy with a Vicky, that was trying to reinstall his exhaust intake manifolds. I gave him a click torque wrench to use. He got new bolts with the brass nuts from the the model a vendor on site. He evidently did not know how to use a torque wrench, and torque them until something stripped. I didn’t realize they were brass nuts at first, and I thought he had stripped the threads out of the block. Thank God they were brass and that’s what stripped.
