Plenum tork valve
Need to know the Plenum tork ft lbs to install my updated plenums on my E99. I know I can just tighten snug but always like to tork things as much as possible. Your help is appreciated. And is there 12 inch lbs to every
ft lbs? Thanks, Chet

For your future reference, NEVER use your torque wrench to break bolts loose.
If you want to "see" the approximate torque, tighten them using a click type wrench and see where it clicks. Use increasing values to find the clicking point and it will tell you the torque value.
The purpose of indicating torque values in inch-lbs is to get a more precise torque. Some torque wrenches don't have ft-lbs values less than 20 ft-lbs. If the value is callling for a very precise torque, get an inch-lb wrench and torque it correctly.
