As far as it is into this thing just to get the two heads off, and given that three of the four are on one head, I need to be at least close when I get done.
Being a mechanic by trade, I am going to do it right, or not at all. That's mainly a matter of pride in my work, but also due to the fact that if I don't do it right, it falls on me to do it again on my own dime. When your talking a few hundred dollars in parts, several hundred more in fuel, and a few hundred more in expenses because the machine is over two hours away from home, it makes insuring that the job is done right even more important than it already is.
Not to mention that when your talking a fastener that tightens to somewhere around 350 ft lbs already, too much more could easily be enough to strip threads, or twist off the fastener. That takes me right back to square one with then having to foot the bill for parts, etc messed up because of something I did wrong.
I like to turn a profit on my jobs, so no thanks to the idea, I think I will do it right.
