Tools are AF. what you need is 1/4" ,7/16" ,1/2", 9/16", 5/8" 3/4" and a 13/16" long socket for sparking plugs: I think I don't know what "AF" means?


Is it this tool (dogbone spanner?)

For the thread chase, i find this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BL7F...8OYDXHIU&psc=1
What do you think?

 

^^ As Follows??? Maybe..
BTW I pretty much Blue Loctite Everything, certainly anything into Aluminum.. ..acts as a Thread protectant as well as Locking!

 

This is a dogbone adapter. Works on head bolts and base nuts where a torque wrench is needed. You'll need the proper size obviously.

 

And the Torque conversion chart...pay attention to Angle also..Moe complicated than first believed...

 

I think I understand what it is, it concerns the torque wrench. I don't have one personally but I'm going to borrow a good one (I just have to do the conversions between the measurements).

Otherwise, have you ever thought of using the metric system in America ?​​​​​​

 

LOL we have thought about it, but decided it was too simple.

But Racepress wasn't talking about metric to SAE. When you extend or reduce the reach of a torque wrench you have to apply a formula to account for the different lever arm on the indicated torque. If the dogbone is at 90 degrees to the wrench no adjustment is needed. Please look that up and understand before you start.

 

indeed, thank you very much for this information, it is noted in a corner of my mind preciously!

 

Converting ft/lbs to nm isn't difficult. Although I'd use a calculator since it involves many places to the right of the decimal point.

How to Convert Foot-pound to Newton Meter

1 ft*lbf = 1.3558179483 N*m
1 N*m = 0.7375621493 ft*lbf

Example: convert 15 ft*lbf to N*m:
15 ft*lbf = 15 × 1.3558179483 N*m = 20.3372692243 N*m

^^^ True...But No use to Me...I use what the MoCo Uses...Ft Lbs

 

Me too. That was for the OP benefit as he is in France and commented on having to convert from ft/lbs. And since he doesn't have a torque wrencg and will borrow one, I doubt it will be in ft/lbs.
