Default Torque setting question
Hey All...

I'm in the process of replacing my oil pressure sensor and was just about to torque the sensor in and found that my torque wrench measures in inch pounds instead of ft pounds. I'm sure there is a conversion I can use to finish this repair.

Does anyone know what to set the wrench on to equal 14 ft pounds?

Patiently waiting........

14 x 12 = 168. I don't think the Oil Pressure sender gets torqued that high.

The correct torque for the oil press sensor is 15 lb ft or 180 lb in.
