ft lbs to inch lbs

[crownvicjim]

can you use a ft lb torque wrench to do inch lbs by converting the inch to foot? or is there too much likelyhood the tolerances on my torque wrench may differ on that low of a scale? i have to torque some bolts to 90 inch lbs.....so would that be 7.6 ft lbs? or is this a really BAD idea? thanks guys

I had the same question when I did the j-mod. Get an inch-pound torque wrench, go too tight and the gaskets will leak. Theres no way your standard torque wrench is gonna go that low.

Torque wrenches only become acurate 20% from there highest setting. Bite the bullet and get a inch pounder, you won't regret it. I use mine all the time now that I have it.
