Torx head... what is the point?? 850

am i the only one that like torx's...no i really do they are easy to locat a driver onto (particuallrly upside down), have no clearence issues (see that f&^£&^"£^* bolt on the b230 manafold that hex 10mm and right bloody next to an ally wall so u cant get a sodding driver on it....sorry last weekend is still fresh in my brain!

better the torx gives than the bolt sheers in the block (had that happen once on honda motorcycle whilr final tensioning the head (read head & cylinder body) thru bolts - dont even ask !

nope i like them and if you want MY tip on the engine bolts try a warm engien and apply a large lump of cold steel to the head for 30 seconds before you try an crack it!
