<VV> Torque Spec for Camaro lug nuts

[kcvair at netscape.com]

I knew a guy that was a mechanic for a ford dealer and he said they didn't have time to mess with torque wrenchs.  They tightened the heads or whatever until it felt right and let it go at that.  Don't know how many came back to them to do over. Ken

I have!  It cost me a case when I pulled out a previously repaired
stud.  Other than that, all seems to be well.... Knock on wood.  I
only have about 500 miles on it by now.
