[6pack] Torqueing the Dog Bolt

[Robert Lang]

Hi,

Use brute force... a 1/2" drive impact gun with 125 psi of line pressure 
will lock that puppy down at roughly the proper torque. Works every time.

Failing than, if you have the oil pan on, use the "rope trick" to keep the 
motor from spinning. Just make sure that either the rocker shaft  is not 
installed OR you select the proper engine phasing so you don't bend the 
valves!

If the pan is off, you can jam a rag between the block and the crank so 
the crank won't spin. Just don't leave and "swarf" behind.

There's lots of ways to do this job. And if you drink enough beer while 
doing it, you can come up with new methods!
