August 5, 201412 yr I need to re torque the cylinder head on my 350 77 Sherpa the manual give a torque setting of 15 PSI can any one tell me what this is in Newton meters ? confused of Javea
August 5, 201412 yr 1 pound-force inch (lbf-in) = 0.1129848 newton meter (Nm) 0r 1 newton meter (Nm) = 8.85075 pound-force inch (lbf-in)
August 5, 201412 yr MMMMMmmm! I'm confused! Does the PSI stand for pounds per sq inch? If so, thats a measurement of pressure and Newton Metres is a measurement of force. You can do PSI to Newton/Square Metres. Is there such a thing a table or chart that gives psi in Nm??? What is the diameter and thread of the fastener and is it into aluminium? Mags
August 5, 201412 yr They probably meant to say foot pounds but it came out PSI. I wouldn't suspect that they have torqued the head at 15 in pounds. Keep in mind that this is probably a Spanish manual translated by a buddy for a case of beer. --Biff

August 7, 201412 yr Author Thanks for the replies afrer a "caja de San Miguel" it has become clearer in my head as guys posted 12ft.lbs it is then stocking up on " inspiration fluid SM." before i check my Tyre pressures
August 7, 201412 yr The ideal gas mix for your tyres is 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, 1% water... if you can find that mix locally? Mags
August 8, 201412 yr Author If i fill the front tyre with 100% nitrogen will it be easier to wheelie ? and also if I lose control over rocky terrain could I then breath in the nitrogen from the inner tube to ease the pain ?

No, the difference of only 4 Molecular Mass M (kg/kmol) is not enough, you need to use Helium of course!
August 8, 201412 yr Anybody help :- Looking for conversion of thoughts, dreams and wishes into ability and reality.
