Dial type torque wrench, sorry I'm dense

Rawze, you really know how to put something into words. I understand your line of thinking on this issue. I see it the same way. I never do this to mask problems or to save a guy money by not repairing a already bad or failing component. Its just that with my observations and experience I find this to work well. Lots of forethought went into me starting this practice. It does run higher crush pressures but running what amounts to less than 1 ft lb on the injector train has not yet shown any adverse effects on how it runs or on hard parts. I have engines running 5 years already and still going strong. Overhead sets have shown they stayed at torque longer, after 3 years since initial set they were still at 77-78 in lbs.
