Jim, I have Fentons with a Clifford 4 BBL intake on my 270. I can not use a torque wrench. I use a box end and do the best I can. It has not been a problem in the many years they have been there,
I read back through this thread and in one of my posts I mentioned how soft the casting on my Fentons was. Well it is not any longer. I guess it seasoned with use.
