Most of the old trucks had lock washers on the heads of the bolts holding the bellhousing to the flywheel housing. On the old double breasted Yamaha's if they didn't have lock washers they would work loose and break the bolts off.

Till I was in high school I didn't know they made torque wrenches. Never had one nor used one. Did many engines without one with no failures due to proper torque on bolts.
