Retorqueing Head/torque value conversion
« on: November 23, 2004, 15:27:10 »
I am retorqueing the cylinder head prior to valve adjustment and just noticed that the torque wrench I purchased is in inch pounds.  The cylinder head is supposed to be torqued cold to 72 foot pounds. What is 72 foot pounds converted to inch pounds.  Help!  Thanks!

Thanks, I googled it and came up with the same result and that my torque wrench was not strong enough.  Fortunately, my neighbor had the right torque wrench.
