I want to remove and replace my Dellortos and the instructions are to torque to [EDITED] 13 inch-lbs. Most of you know what that feels like intuitively, but I'm a newbie and don't want to screw up my new toy.
I don't yet own a torque wrench -- don't think I've even used one before. I'm wondering which one I should buy for this and future 914 stuff. E.g. my valve covers are converted to bolt on. |

I want to remove and replace my Dellortos and the instructions are to torque to [EDITED] 13 inch-lbs. Most of you know what that feels like intuitively, but I'm a newbie and don't want to screw up my new toy. 13 inch pounds would be like farting on a feather, so I'm sure it meant 13 foot pounds, which converted would be 156 inch pounds. I made up a inch pound to foot pound conversion chart and hung it above my bench. I have both an inch pound torque wrench that converted goes to 22 ft/lbs and a foot pound wrench to 25- 200 ft/lbs. I strongly recommend you get both, to me the inch pound is important for doing the oil sump plate on a four. BTW that dell carb gasket likely has it's own special torque value, just like 911 silicone valve cove gaskets, they can't take full spec torque because they squeeze out or deform. |
