On the torque wrench, I figured even having one that is off say 15% is better than not using a torque wrench at all for someone new to DIY.
I agree that an expensive torque wrench is better but lets not give the guy sticker shock or any reason to be discouraged from forging ahead on the DIY path.
I have a HF clicker and it fine for most things that normally just get the "Thats about right" manual wrenching.
All Internal engine components and covers need accurate torquing like the oil pan so that you can get a good seal and not strip bolts into aluminum.
Cross threading is also something to beware of as its easy to do in aluminum.
Be careful with spark plugs too and torque them properly.
