I am rebuilding my 87 Suzuki. Very cool.

[@briananderson2078]

I have a 94 sidekick block from a sidekick, Geo tracker 8 valve head, samurai intake, samurai exhaust, Weber carb, samurai transmission to sidekick adapter plate, center force clutch. I have bought every part that is under the hood new. Rebuilt transmission by zuks off-road. It's going to be super clean. After the engine installation I am going to buy the epic trek from trail tough and a air locker for the rear.

@@briananderson2078 sounds awesome! My next build will be something I've never seen done with a zuk before so be sure to give us a subscribe and turn on notifications. I try to upload weekly

Torque should be done in newton-metres as intended. Its more accurate. All specs will be metric. Suzuki engines are known for reliability because they are made with metric.

If only there were mathematical equations to convert from metric to standard.....

[@chippyjohn1]

@@theunlikelyoverlander metric is standard

@@chippyjohn1 not here in the states man. Have a good evening.

@theunlikelyoverlander The states aren't part of the world? International standards are metric, it's what every country decided on. They are taught in schools globally.

@@chippyjohn1 I have no desire to argue with you. If you didn't like the content move on. There is absolutely no need for this. In the states we refer to them as standard and metric or imperial and metric. But either way my point was if you use the proper conversion it makes no difference which system you use to torque them. Have a good evening.
