You're right - I could have been more sensitive towards your feelings - I have always valued your input.

Having said that, I originally asked a straightforward question. If you didn't know or chose not to share - fine. Instead, you chose to take the time to to tell me to 'use the search button' or 'look in the manual'. Why would someone who posts such a smug answer on a mc board be surprised to get a smart-ass reply?
As I have said, I am sorry to get cross-wise with you and your buds for what I never intended to be a slight, and I am done defending myself on this.

Perhaps this all began as a misunderstanding.  I did tell you to use the search, true.  It's an underutilized tool on this and most boards and many folks don't think to use it when they 1st become part of this board.  I've seen it time and time again.  My intent was never smug, just to (insert hookie cliche) help you help your self.  Yep - I could have looked it up for you and it probably would have taken just a bit longer than my actual post.  But I didn't, I opted to direct you to find that info (and tons more) for yourself.  I thought that finding out a greater volume of info was available, info that might answer future questions, would be helpful.

Many folks have worked hard to populate the 'How-To' section with tons of info - including a comprehensive list of all the torque values for monsters and plug info too.  The answers to your questions were available before you ever asked them.  Instead of waiting on people to respond to your post, you could have been proactive and found the information on your own of you had used the search.  That was my point, not to be assey.

I've also seen people post numerous questions that an answered in ones owners manual.  But again, it slips peoples mind that they have this valuable resource at hand. 

I wasn't trying to be smart-assed or smug.  If you took it that way, there's the misunderstanding.  Good luck with you're future wrenching - and yes getting the factory manual is well worth the money
