Torque ????

i only have a torque wrench that has foot pounds and it will only go as low as 10ft/lbs. What setting would get me close to 120 in pounds, so I can torque my lower injector bolts?

Thanks for the help

I believe since it's 12 inches to a foot, 120 inch-lbs. = 10 ft-lbs. Might check me though. Since that's the very bottom of your torque wrench's range, you might use the excuse to get a different one.

Might be a good idea to get a inch/lb wrench.. It might give you a better reading and feel..

I use a 3/8'' drive MAC TQ wrench that goes fron 5-75 ft-lbs. Works great for the injector, rocker arm, and valve body bolts.
