taking the head off tomorrow

Always reset torque wrench to lowest setting when not in use. It will mess it up if you leave it cranked up.

Man, I never knew that. Thanks

well, today i took the head off to find that it was really dirty everywhere in the head. There is sand in there, and some mud as well. i took the domes off and their 18cc, and im putting 20cc's in there, so i should be good. Shee is going to need a good cleaing on her top end

Ok ,I think I have it figured out ,lol. Your wrench looks very simular to my Crafstman. Along the length is the "rough" scale in fifteen in/lb increments. At the end of the black handle is the "fine" adjustment,marked 0 -14. Directly below is "fine" scale for newton-meters, paint is worn off mine so I cant tell what the N-m scale corresponds to compared to in-lb. Hope this helps . As far as value for aftermarket head I would think it would be same as stock because strength is limited by studs in cyls.

Sand and mud inside the head? Wtf?

yes sir, when i got home, i took my filters, and they were really sandy, and quite dirty. But they had lots of filter oil on them, and the outerwears had holes in them, so i gotta get new ones, im gonna clean the intakes and the carbs
