    new install of tme's linked to major vibration

    i just recently installed the tme's and i believe i got the 16 ft-lb off on the torque wrench. the wrench itself is kinda weird, with a minimum of 1.4 M and 120 inch pounds. there is also KGS on there, at a good 2.8 for the lowest. i think i had it set to 2.8, but with research after the vibration, a site suggested a converted 2.2kgs from 16 ft-lb. anyone know the right conversion and howto set this darn thing? thanks.

    Yes
    1 ft-lb = 12 in-lbs.

    So 16 ft-lbs x 12 = 192 in-lbs.
