Inch lbs torque wrench ?

Where do I look for an inch lbs. torque wrench ? I need one that goes from
below 20 lbs to whatever.
What kind of wrench do you have and where did you get it ?
Thanks,

The problem I am having , is getting one that goes low enough. I have some
head bolts that need to be only 20 inch pounds.

Assuming you really need 20 foot lbs, a 50 ft/lb wrench would do
the job pretty well. Specs and wrenches can be it ft/lbs, inch/lbs
or Nms, so you need to be very careful. If you become confused
about the units you're working really bad stuff can happen.

Also, it's not unheard of to have a tech manual screw up the
conversion from Nm to foot/lbs. I think maybe I really ought to
just start working in metric sizes and be done with it.

 

It is a 1997 Yamaha YZ80 , I have the owners manual and it says 20 in. lbs.
It runs 2 o-rings between the head and the cylinder . I know this sounds
low, as I thought so myself.

Does it list Nms as well? I'm thinking Rob may be right in this could
just be misprint.

 

The general recommendation I'd heard was to stay above the bottom
20% of the range. There's also a smaller number for top end which
escapes me. Maybe above 20% and below 95%.

I've now got three wrenches, 0-24, 0-50 and 0-150 ft/lb, two different
manuals for torque specs and a bike with no helicoils and no oil leaks.
Life is good.

 

My bet would be 20 ft/lbs. actually.

1 Nm = ~.74 ft/lb.

My head gaskets torque to 28 ft/lb, so anything less than
20 seems low to me.

The right answer though is to go get a reliable source for
torque specs. Better yet, get three.
