Up to 120 in-lb at a bare minimum. A lot will depend on how low your ft-lb torque wrench will read. Mine starts at 10, but I don't trust it that low. I prefer to use the in-lb one below 15 ft-lbs (180 in-lbs)

Yes. That starting point is the same torque setting as the injector hold-down bolts. I prefer one that starts below my minimum torque setting. My click-type MAC 3/8'' drive starts at 5 ft-lbs/ 60 in-lbs. Basicly, both torque wrenches start at the same place.

ya if you figure that 12 In-lbs = 1 ft-lbs then you would want one that topped out at about 120 inch instead of starting there.
