Question about using a torque wrench 200

Bruce is correct, the click is the indication that you've reached the preset torque limit. Also, you should know that torque readings will be lower if the bolt is lubricated- that is, with never-seize or something on the threads, you can actually overtorque a bolt, or strip one out- always be cautious with this technique on anything threaded into aluminum, like a spark plug.
