Still don’t have angle torque wrenches but may add one or two at some point. I used an angle adapter when I did the rod bearings using stock bolts, and that is not ideal because each added fitting can have an effect on torque. But everything seems fine 6 years and 43k miles later and I will change them again in the next year or two.

Extensions and adapters do not affect torque if you keep everything in a straight line. Swivel heads and universals, on the other hand, will cause error.
