Aidan's loose oily bunghole actually runs a track lap

You don't use a torque wrench of any kind on rods, you use a rod bolt stretch gauge.
For mains, I use a beam-type to calibrate my click-type. There's a particular size of 12-point SAE socket that fits a 1/2" square drive. Put that on one torque wrench and put the other in the 12-point end, set the click-type to break at your desired value and twist the beam-type against it. Observe the value when it breaks, and adjust the click-type until it's consistently breaking at the value you want. Then use the click-type to torque the mains. (in 3 or 4 steps).

I think it is way more important to re-torque all the fasteners several times (several torque cycles)

Currently, fasteners must be cycled 6-8 times in an attempt to stabilize friction that can cause incorrect preload values

I literally bought beam torque wrenches while reading your build thread.
This is going to end up embarrassingly like yours. Twin disc, wittyworks manifold, 6758. Maybe I'll beat you to VVT.

No thats the wrong one.
Wrong one: An 6 Fuel Rail Adapter Mazda FD3S RX7 Series 6 | eBay
Right one: An 6 6 JIC Fuel Rail Adapter Toyota 4EFTE EP Starlet 4AGZE 4AGE | eBay
I think. I haven't received the right one yet.

The seller was very helpful, and gave me a US address to return it to. So I'm not out too much money.
I should know next week sometime. Customs takes a while.
You can get blue ones all over ebay. But some of those are wrong too.
For the miata you need this drawing (I believe):

Managed to slip my twin disc real bad tonight twice on some launches. Wonder if it has anything to do with this:
Oh well. Still doesn't slip at full boost. I'll run it for the rest of the season and pull it to check the discs.
@emilio700 any updates on the organic replacement discs? I would love to send you some money for a set.
