Any Mathematicians In The House??

  1. Would someone be so good as to check my maths on this..

    I need to torque the cylinder head nuts on a 999. The ones where you can't get to them with the torque wrench.

    So I'm using the common trick of using a 14mm ring spanner on the end of the torque wrench.

    I'm I right in thinking that the easiest way is to just ratio the calculation? - The torque wrench is 38 cm long and the 14mm spanner adds 17cm.

    30Nm at 38cm gives you full length torque (spanner plus wrench) of (38+17)/38 *30 = 43.42Nm??

    The brain seems old this morning! ;)

  2. Cross threaded = tight.

    If that helps

  3. keep ring spanner @ 90 degress to torque wrench and use standard settings. (I think?)
