So, I watched this video yesterday. Went home last night to start Day 1 of my 5.8 rebuild. Remembered, “Don’t over torque the thrust bearing bolts like he did.” First friggin bolt of the whole project, and I sheared a bolt head off. Don’t think my torque wrench has ever been recalibrated. Lesson learned. You tried to tell us. I’m just too stupid to listen. Thanks for having this channel.
Not true only if your using something like a dog bone and it extends forward of the wrench or behind as I changes the leverage point it’s meant to be calibrated to. You can either use them at a 90 degree angle or use the following equation to find proper torque. Torque applied x Length divided by length + length of adapter to find your correct torque.

Why is the lifter retainer installed without any lifters?
What cam did you use?
I know it’s a little late but your torque will always be off if you use an extension. Something about the connections messes with the systems.
