Maybe I'm slow but can somone explain this to me ?
Example :
Here is a typical small bolt spec in my 2001 manual
18N-m (180kgf.cm) 13 ft-lbf I understand these are metric and standard figures with this example being 13 foot pounds.
Here is one for the spark plug/ignition coil mounting bolts
7.8 N-m (80kgf-cm, 69 in, .lbf) Notice this one includes an in before lbf. Is there math to do with these as there is no way these bolts can be 69 ft lbs of torque.
Also,
Has anyone found a real factory/shop manual ? These red and black multi volume manuals are okay but I cannot believe Toyota mechanics/dealerships use these. The index is miserable, some pages show torque specs, many don't, the layout/sequence is not logical compared to any US, Honda or BMW service manual I have ever owned.
