Torquing Base studs

[FasterZAblaster]

Yesterday i got creative after opening up my top end, before assembly i went to buy a torque wrench and as with any new thing, i tend to over play with it...

after torquing every single bolt to specifications, i was left with the four base studs on the cylinder that i couldn't get to with the wrench. i started thinking to weld an old socket to a 12 spanner and i ended up with this......


can anyone give me an opinion of how this changes the torque ratio because of the extension? im not good with maths but im sure its changed cause of the lenght....

By the use of the term "spanner" you are probably either Aussie or Brit. While creative, you can use almost any wrench, you have to mark the wrench to keep it in the same posistion.
Not being good with math will be the problem as the length of the T wrench and spanner are critical.
Maybe someone will post something.

Use the first "link" and give us the length of torque wrench and the length of your extension/adapter-spanner and maybe someone will do the math for you
