Newver had one slip and I don't think I've ever used a torque wrench on
one either. ;-) I've always used a Crafstman 17mm/19mm box end wrench
and set the bolt up but not tight and set the cam timing. Then it takes
less than 1/4 turn to snug the bolt without moving anything. Then I set
the wrench so it's at about one to two o'clock and give it a whap with
either my palm or a hammer. If it moved too easily it gets one more,
nothing extreme mind you. Works quite well. Never checked the final
torque but I'd estimate it to be 50 +.
