I'm reassembling my gen 2 3300, new pistons, heads refurbished to gen 3 spec. Using the 12 point 7/16 nuts. I'm ready to torque down the cylinders.
My issue is that I don't think a 1/2" open end crows foot will grip the nuts properly when torquing. A ring wrench would seem to be a better choice, but I don't see any such available as a crows foot. The universal 1/2" socket doesn't fit in the space available either.
Sooo, seeing that many have gone before me, I'm asking what solutions others have used to get a torque wrench on those nuts.

If you can tig weld or know someone who can its easy. I made my own by cutting a ring spanner and tig welding a cut off square section of a socket. Then tested it at a higher torque before actually using. I would recommend checking the calibration of your torque wrench before use. The torques on the through bolts feel really high for the hardware.

Are you replacing the flywheel bolts while you are at it? The loctited flywheel bolts breaking at 500 hrs, gave me a chance to experience an engine failure, spend $5k AUD on parts and rebuild the engine.

What you need is called a torque adapter, not a crows foot. I bought this set on Amazon for that exact purpose. You could just buy the single wrench but I figured I may as well buy the set.

That looks like the perfect solution! I can't weld, and getting just the one adapter works for me
Thanks Guys!
