[DMCForum] Re: Angle torque 75 degrees = ? ft *lbs

["Matt Spittle" <mds328@xxxxxxx>]

I fudged it by marking 75 degrees with a marker on the actual socket.
 Then I aligned it with a reference point on the crankcase and turned
it until it lined up with the 2nd mark.  Seemed to be around
65-70ft*lbs when I was done.
