Preacher Mike, you need to go on-line and get a copy of Convert.exe which is a program that exchanges one measurement type to another easily and accurately.

39 inch pounds isn't enough torque to do a side cover or a head cover, not by a factor of 2-3 anyway.

I use a 0-120 inch pound quarter inch drive beam torque wrench that is simple, easy to use and plenty accurate.

Reply #8 - 01/30/10 at 17:47:38 Have to be real careful with those stock bolts any how. I tried to set one to spec and it started to twist off, I don't really have any stock ones left anymore.
