Painted my valve cover...used a torque wrench to get it back on...had too much torque...bolt goes snap and suddenly Wade's trip to Worlds of Fun that day turned into a part run at lunch time (Thank GOD my friend's Probe made it down there and back...we were worried)! Lesson learned. You really don't need a torque wrench.
