Hey whats up. well today i installed my valve springs and reatainers along with cams (CROWER stage 2) on my 97 LS. i looked in the Haynes manual for the torque specs for the cam caps. it says to torque them to i think 86 in-lb. whats does this equate to in foot lbs? do i divide it by 12 inches in order to get the foot lbs. so it will be about 8 ft-lbs? my friend who owns a shop torqued them to 15 ft-lbs.

 

i thought cam caps were 20lbs

 

beats me? i guess i'll leave em torqued at 15 ft-lbs. on vtec heads, my friend torques em to around 12 ft-lbs and he runs 10's so i guess he knows what he's do n
