Cory,
     My guess about why a bar type torque wrench is
required is because of that snotty sealer that you put
on the headbolt caps.   I noticed that I slightly
overfilled one of these caps and it was a bit of a
sticky wicket to tighen to torque specification.   I
would loan you mine if you were nearby but a good long
boxed end wrench with a spring scale could work too.
Sealer sets up in 45 minutes so you kind of have to
work fast.   Lube the pushrod tube covers seals so you
can rotate them to seal them as you have little time
to check on all these details.   Remember to expand
the pushrod tubes to specification.   many happy
torques,
      gary

Why must I use a Bar Type Torque Wrench on the
Cylinder Head Bolts?
While I
have 3 click type torque wrenches I do not own a bar
type.

Is the Bently manual wrong on this?  As it is about
removing the
crankshaft
pulley, and Fuel Injectors?

Would setting a Click Type Wrence to 1 ft/lb over spec
work?

I don't want to go buy a bar type wrench.

Thanks,

Cory
