Been looking for conversion tables to get from 105in. lbs to ft. lbs. I'm about to put in a new valve cover, and I don't want to overtighten the bolts and strip them.
Also, what is an easy way to put in spark plug tube seals? Wooden end of hammer ok?
Thanks in advance

in-ftlbs divide in-lbs/12=ft- lbs

Second that.
To convert foot pounds to inch pounds, multiply by 12.
To convert inch pounds to foot pounds, divide by 12.

ie: 12 inches equals 1 foot. Do they still teach that in basic math??
thereffore, 12in/lbs = 1ft/lb
sorry
my tube seals just went in with a little oil as lube, no probs in 30k miles.

Pfft, you're still not listening to me.
The spark plug tube seals are brand spaking new, only like 500? miles on 'em.
But, you could just smack em in if you really want to.

I had to buy a valve cover gasket, and it comes with the tube seals and 8 small grommets so I'll use em. It's from Felpro.
