Hi,
My grandpa always said me one quarter of a turn before it breaks
.
But from the manual it is 10Nm or 89Lb-in.

Hi Daniel,i don't know what is Nm "you said 10Nm" and 89Lb it feels too much.
I've got a torque wranche that has a scale in kilograms and Lb/pounds/
Are you sure is 89 pounds..???I'm talking about Valve cover ,not the Head Gasket
Thanks!!!

Hi David74,
Torque is force times lenght. I spoked in Newton*meter and Pound*inches!
I bet the scales on your wrench are in fact m*Kg (or Kg*m) and Lb*foot (or Ft*Lb) and that your wrench is too strong for the job.
89 Pounds = 40.36kg.
1 inch = 0.0254m.
Times both and you get: 1.024mKg.
Same apply for Nm.
