Torque and Chrome

Torques wrench question?

I have to take off my transmission oil pan and I also have to put it back. The torque spec of the bolts that hold the tranny oil pan is 65 inch-pound not foot-pounds. The problem is I couldn't find a torque wrench that has an inch-pound feature, only foot-pounds is available. Im thinking about converting 65 inch-pound into foot pound and this is what i came up with: 65 inch = 5.4166667 feet Is 65 inch-pound similar to 5.4166667 or 6 foot pounds? I'm not really good in math, please help. I mean torque wrench

1. You are absolutely correct. Use your foot-pound torque wrench and aim for 5.4, will work fine.
2. To convert foot pounds to inch pounds, multiply by 12. To convert inch pounds to foot pounds, divide by 12. So if you have 65 in pds divide by 12=5.416 foot pds...Gosh Your a lot better at math than you thought ...Don't cut yourself so short....there ya go........Good luck from the E...
