V8 SUV Engine & Transmission Rejuvenation - BMW E70 X5 - Project X5: Part 3

This episode is a continuation of the valve stem seal replacement on the N62 4.8L V8 engine. They had to be replaced due to blue smoke and oil consumption issue. We are putting the engine back together and along the way replacing the water pump, thermostat, coolant hose, alternator bracket seal, strip bolt, vapor blast, service the ZF 6HP28X transmission with new seals and solenoids and a lot more.

Apologies if i missed this elsewhere - what torque wrench(es) do you use in the dojo? I'm looking to upgrade to electric with angle and could use a recommendation.
