Cylinder head

[Powerefx]

Just bought new cylinder head for my 1993 escort along with a torque wrench, a tap and die set, and a compression kit, along with all of the neccesary bolts and gaskets. Just have a question about the torque wrench. After i put how much pressure i want to be applied, how will i be notified that it has reached that setting. Some say that the wrench will click. I dont see how the wrench knows how much is applied and when to "Click", can anyone expalin to me? Also i am open to any suggestion on installing the head, for this is my first time.

Depends on what type of t wrench your speaking of, some just have a lever " guage " . some you set the torque value on the handle and when the sepcified amount reaches that area it will clik.

to check it out, set it REALLY low, then go to tighten your wheel lugs, just keep pulling on it, you'll hear the click and know what you're listening for.

you will either hear a click or in my case (im partially deaf) feel a click. and I believe some of the good ones will even go to the spec you set then free spin clutch action.
(kinda like a drywall screwdriver/drywall gun)

dont know if that makes any sense to you but do what jetlee says go try it
