Alright, I heard that its very important to torque the fuel lines at the injectors to the right specs. Question 1: how do you torque something if you cant use a socekt and 2: what is the proper torque

thanks

excellent link, thanks man

 

quick question, does the crows foot socket throw off the torque readings on the torque wrench? It seems like it would give a lower reading due to added leverage.

 

It will vary if you use an adapter on a traditional torque wrench. If you use a torque wrench designed for the crows foot it will be perfect.

 

ah, i didnt know there was such a thing, im used to the regular torque wrench. Thanks

 

The Regular will get you close enough in the torque range that I wouldn’t worry about it, unless you have other uses for the crows foot kind. We happen to have calibrated torque wrenches of both styles where I work, so if I need a crows foot I can sign it out for the day, otherwise I use the regular one at home. The expense for a one time use or very limited usage would probably not be worth it.

thanks, i found that link earlier along with a little more complicated equation, either way I should be able to get it close enough. Thanks for all the input

 

mini14, great links! Thank you!

 

My aircraft mechanics tell me that if you install crawfoot along the torque wrench, the torque is chenged (very little mind you). If you install crewofoot at 90* to the wrench, there torque reading will be accurate.

u all r welcome.
