These aren't pre-attached to your con rods like they are in CMS.

When you bolt it down there is a correct tightening sequence to follow, along with having to manually adjust your wrench to the correct torque settings for those particular bolts, and they should also be tightened in stages rather than wound all the way down in one go to allow the crank to seat squarely and allow for 'stretching' of the crank cap bolts.

With the crank, you don't just place the crank in to the engine block, you have to place all the bearings (shells) in place first on both the engine block and into all of your crank caps, along with the shims to prevent end-float of the crank. the attention to detail is far greater where the components are concerned. With Wrench, however, although it more or less follows the same kind of procedure and couple of bits snap in to place for you. Grab a piston which already has the rod and everything attached to it, snap it in place upon your crank, throw a few rod caps and bolts at it, bolt it down. Throw a few crank caps at it, bolt it down, job done.

With CMS, you basically select your crank, place in position in the engine block and it snaps in to place. Let's suppose we're doing a bottom end overhaul, a new crank, con rods, and pistons. It doesn't hold your hand and do half of the job for you quite like CMS does when putting bits togetherĪ quick example. With Wrench, however, they're attempting to make it much more true-to-life, and the attention to detail is far greater. This helps it to appeal to a wider audience and cater for those who barely know one end of a screwdriver from the other, let alone how the internals of a car work. There's pro's and con's to both.ĬMS is a little more geared towards casual style game-play where the real in-depth mechanical side of the game is toned down quite a lot. Well, that all depends on what you're looking for from a game really. Should you buy Wrench if you already have a car mechanic sim? and Is Wrench better than CMS? As someone who has CMS 14, 15, 18 and also Wrench as well, these are my thoughts.
