<VV> torquing con rods

[Sethracer at aol.com]

Mike - I have always used a 3/8" drive click-stop torque wrench.  One 
without a ratcheting tip. And a quality - that means Snap-On - 12 point  socket 
for the Rod nuts. I have always been able to fish my way in and torque  
adequately. The 3/8" wrench is calibrated in Inch lbs, but I can convert. - Seth

With all the tools I have there seems to always be a few that  I cannot get 
the torque wrench on. Usually I use a short breaker bar and judge  the 
tightness compared to the torqued ones. I know this is close, but I'd feel  
better if I could properly torque the  nuts.
