Don't tighten those fasteners with a tool used to tighten lug nuts! Use a high quality torque wrench and stretch those bolts in steps. 3 steps is good five is great, don't rush it enjoy it.
Quality pays it doesn't cost.

Power tools and engine assembling don't mix very well. Power tools may be used ONLY for removal/dissassembling a motor.

I figured someone was trolling with a thread like this. Then again, you never know.

I use a 1" impact with a torque multiplier to snug up my rocker arms on a new set up.
