When torquing a bolt and toll to torque 90 degrees. This is a good tip when there are a lot of bolts. For example you just finish torquing 150 lbs and now you have go 90 degrees more. Paint a line all the way across the head of the bolts. Make sure the lines on all the bolts are perpendicular. Don't worry if sides of the bolts don't match one another. The lines just have to be perpendicular. Now start tighting the bolts until the lines are horizontal. That's exactly 90 degrees. Now I know some of you have a gauge you can attach to your torque wrench and that's okay, but this way is faster and you can see if you missed any bolts.
