*SNIP*

When I was in high school I broke a head stud on a friends flathead  
over torquing it. I've used a torque wrench on anything important  
since then.

I think the problem you can run into on wheel lugs is that uneven  
torque can distort parts like rotors and drums.

Have you actually built an engine without a torque wrench, Bob?
