Whats a torque wrench look like - Motorcycles

Tighten connecting rod bearing nut 10 to 12 ft-lbs.Tighten bolts 60 (+5/-0) degrees clockwise with angle wrench, or if no angle wrench available, tighten bolts 28 to 33 ft-lbs.

Do you know about Torque to Yeild bolts?

What did you tighten without a torque wrench? There are hundreds of fasteners on an engine. If it needs a torque wrench and one was not used, then it is very rare that it will be ok for very long.

You have the wrong size Torque Wrench. IF you Torque Wrench measures nm, and it max'd out @ 130, you need a larger Torque Wrench. Convert nm to Ft. Lb and use these if necessary.

You can not use that model for the torque you require. A larger capacity torque wrench will be needed.

220 lbs? That's ridiculosly tight,even on a big block V8! I bet it is 220 INCH lbs.,not ft/lbs. This seemed about right with my scientific test(a beam-type torque wrench and a 1/2" combo wrench).55 ft/lbs is about the territory of head bolts on automotive engines with 5/8" head bolts.1/2 drive torque wrenches usually read in ft/lbs,so you need a 3/8" drive torque wrench.

It is possible to use a simple torque wrench extension bar, which fits onto the square drive of the torque wrench.

At the other end of the extension bar is a male square drive for the socket. This increases the leverage of the torque wrench by a ratio which is the total length of the wrench plus bar divided by the length of the torque wrench only. You multiply the torque reading by this ratio.
Note that NO increased torque is obtained by fitting an extension on the handle end of the torque wrench. The applied torque will still be the same as the torque wrench reading in this case.
Then there is a more expensive tool, a torque multiplier. These are often fitted to the output shafts of winches etc, and consist of a small gearbox which fits on the square drive of the torque wrench. On the other side is a male square drive for the socket.

They are geared in various multiplier ratios from 4:1 to as much as 40:1. On the gearbox casing is a reaction bar which is braced against something to keep it in place as the torque is applied.
They are expensive but you can hire them also.

the dial is for 161 162 ------168 etc count it up to 228

impact wrenches are often misused by those who don’t know about their special needs. First of all, it is very important to be careful when tightening a nut or bolt with an impact wrench! Cross threading can occur very easily; a novice may also over-torque a bolt or a nut if they don’t know when to stop. To prevent such problems, always be sure to hand-tighten every nut or bolt before using the impact wrench; if you try to start the nut or bolt with the impact wrench, you won’t be able to feel if the threads are crossed. If the impact wrench is not torque controlled – meaning it will stop when the nut or bolt is tightened to a certain torque – you will need to go slowly, and periodically check the torque value of the nut or bolt to make sure you haven’t tightened it too far.

1. Tighten the cylinder head bolts sequentially in three steps. NOTE: Perform each step twice. 1st step torque: 39 Nm (4.0 kgf-m, 29 ft. lbs.) 2nd step torque: 69 Nm (7.0 kgf-m, 51 ft. lbs.) 3rd step torque: 98.1 Nm (10.0 kgf-m, 72.3 ft. lbs.) Use a beam-type torque wrench. When using a preset-type torque wrench, be sure to tighten slowly and not to overtighten. If a bolt makes any noise while you are torquing it, loosen the bolt, and retighten it from the first step.
