Head bolt torque settings?

[Indian]

Put on the Jardines and need the torque settings for where the header attaches to the head.
I know MD said start at 10 foot lbs and work up to 20-25.
My problem is my foot lbs torque wrench is too big and starts over 25lbs.

I have a new torque wrench (smaller) that measures Inch lbs..
what would it be in inch lbs..?

would 12" = 1 foot mean that 10 lb/foot = 0.85 lb inch?


or like said 120lb/inch


am not so sure it wouldn't be 0.85 lb/inch...

what settings does your small wrench have?... that would make it more obvious

Indian:
Do be careful with the setting you are quoting from MD. I know he has revised his quote on the torque amount. I am not sure of the final opinion or technique used but do remember there were some early problems.

The factory manual calls for 19 NM which is 14 ft/lbs or 168 in/lbs
