Just curious but where did your gas tube go to?
Scarey photo. I'm feeling the need to re-check my gas block torques. I may
have done mine a bit on the side of tight as well. I just recently got an
inch pounds torque wrench. I tend to have to deal with 35 pounds and 50 and 150(automotive stuff). The flywheel nut on an air cooled German engine I'm working on required 320 foot pounds. Torque wrenches for that sort of thing are about 2 1/2 or 3 feet long and are generally for trucks. I took the engine to a shop and paid them to do it.
