RE: Rocker Arm torque in FT. LBS.
Well the conversion is fairly easy.
Just divide the inch lbs number by 12.
But, theres a reason they put it in inch lbs, its more accurate. 1 ft lbs equils 12 inch lbs so it could throw you anywhere in that area.
My suggestion would be to get a inch lbs tourqe wrench.
If it were just a retainging bolt for somthing simple, sure it doesnt need to be that precise, but a rocker arm I think I would want to get it best as I could.

I have a 1996 dodge ram 1500 5.9 360 and I dont have an inch pounds torque wrench. Does anybody know what the spec would be in FT. LBS?
