I also have a craftsman inch/pounds.

I'll put them both by the front door and tell my mom you might come by to get them.

cheers

yes. just a measurement difference. 12" in/lb = 1 ft/lb. a big torque wrench that goes up to 150-200 ft/lb is not very accurate at 5 ft/lb.

doing it by feel is just about as good and there are all sorts of opinions about whether or not to use rtv. personally I like it but valve covers and oils pans ALWAYS need to be re-tightened.

I hate a messy engine.

both my wrenches are by the front door, if you need them.

i believe it gets torqued to 85 in/lbs or roughly 7 ft/lbs. but i would just do it by feel, ive heard the recommended tightness isnt enough
