Default Pics or Specs of fabricated Head Wrench

Does anyone have pictures and specs of head bolt wrenches they made? I am about to embark on a the quest for a less leak truck.

Keep an eye out on Ebay, you can get the head bolt wrenches for the deuce on there, often for cheap!

I can get one, but I'd like to make a durable one. And yes, cabin fever has set in!

You have seen the original to know what it looks like, right?

To build one, the big design parameter you need in mind is it needs to act like a straight extension. That is, the end that will recieve the torque wrench must be in a straight line and centered directly above the bolt head, thus keeping the center line of the wrench perfectly perpendicular to the center axis of the head stud. If that parameter is met, you can make the offset part any way that suits your fancy, so long as it is rigid enough to maintain that positioning during the loosening/tightening process.

If I were doing it, I'd start with a 12 point box end wrench and work up from there.

FYI, I changed head gaskets last year. I broke the military head bolt wrench taking off the heads and ended up getting a socket welded to a box wrench( sorry no pics). I then used the military head bolt wrench to torque the heads back on after the threads were cleaned up and oiled. Good luck

After the one I bought from Saturn took a crap on the 1st torque, I made this.
