I like the torque spec's too.... 34.2ftlb's... (like 0.2 of a ftlb makes any difference)...

Spec's should say,... half a pint or so... or, 30 or 40 ftlbs...
Oil capacity... 2 and a bit quarts...
This is why engineers can't slice pizza...

I come across this daily, if not hourly.
for instance... what is room temperature?
20 °C for metric or when converted it's 68 °F
but we say 70 °F is room temp.
and I love it when they specify a precise pressure and some dingbat will convert it to xx.xx psi.
hey dingbat, we can't measure .xx psi and .xx psi will vary with the passing weather system.
but given the room temp is the same in july in tempe az as it is in norway in december
our fork tube are roughly 36" long and we would be lucky if they were machined to within ±.001" of Ø1.125
at the max versus the min, the difference is a little over 2cc.
so is 1cc important? naw.
is 2cc important? naw.
is 10cc important? probably, but it's gonna leak out anyway.
with slider held vertical, spring in, and the tube collapsed into the slider, fill to about 1/2" from the top.
run it for awhile and check the distance later. when I bought fork oil it came in half liter bottles. after filling you should have a little left over.
