I used to use a 300 ft/lb 3/4" drive torque wrench with a doubler to tighten 220 Cummins cylinder head studs- - - - -1" diameter studs with fine thread nuts and flat washers that torqued to 600 ft/lbs- - - - -18 of them, 6 per head! That was a good workout even for a 30-something year old guy! I wouldn't attempt it now! Jerry
