Do I /really/ need to torque my shit

Depends on what it is

Depends on what it is.

Lug nuts, no. It's pretty easy to feel the torque with a breaker bar.

Depends what it is.

Screws that hold the dashboard on? No, just snug them.

Wheel lug nuts? Probably but most people can't put enough pressure to strip them without standing on the wrench so as tight as you can normally works.

Transmission pan, diff covers, engine head? Fuck yes, torque everything.

I just stand on the lug wrench that came with the car. Haven't had a tire come off yet.

Be careful tho, I've stretched studs doing that before, you can also crack alloy rims. Usually a knee is enough, you shouldn't need full body weight on car nuts.

The bearings are a-ok too?

ITT:

Op is too cheap to buy a fucking 1/2 torque wrench

just finished bolting the head, no torque wrench was needed

>>16531371
buy one to be sure
after a while, you can tell how much pressure you're using by hand
