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. |

This is the only place I buy torque wrenches. I use the click type. I have 1/4 lb.in., a 3/8th ft.lb., a 1/2 ft.lb and a 3/4 ft.lb torque wrenches. I torque everything. In 20 years I have had these torque wrenches, I have only had to have the 3/8ths one repaired. Of course, this is the one I use the most.
Made in the USA. precision instruments I learned my lessen with torque, the first time I snapped off a stud on the Type I bottom case oil plate. This was before they came out with the sacrificial cap nuts. Greg W. |
