I have a couple of graduated cylinders. 500 and 100ml. They are dirt cheap on eBay. For the shop you will want plastic ones.http://www.ebay.com/itm/Graduated-cylinder-set-plastic-/191964546235?hash=item2cb1fa84bb:g:6PkAAOSwFdtXz~HCPete
I use the same old ratio rite I used in my dirt bike days. Torque wrench by harbor freight
I'm a bit of a "Carter" from Hogan's Heroes, so I have a chemistry set
If nothing else most bottles are gradated , and most baby bottles also are gradated in Metric . I think precision low range torque wrenches are available through Snap On and MAC . Dusty
Wow! So I'm not alone. I figured I was just being anal-retentive because I couldn't force myself to use a measuring cup from to many years in a Chem Lab. Having a Chem degree doesn't help eitherSo only if I use this rig will I be going overboard?Mark
I use a Ratio-Rite for measuring liquids. The quantity of oil that clings to the walls of any measuring cup is minimal - less than 10 cc in my experience. Relying on (old Guzzi) level plugs for the correct quantity is a recipe for disaster.If your ft./lbs. torque wrench doesn't go low enough, use an inch/lbs. one instead. I use clicker types and have them checked/calibrated yearly. I definitely would not recommend any torque wrench sold by Harbor Freight.
The left jar is for the transmission and CARC of my Griso, and the right for the transmission and bevel box of my T3.In defense of my jar system (which I mentioned earlier)...1) cheap! (free jars with every set of pickels)2) easy to clean, since you can fit a sponge inside3) easy to keep dirt out of, since they come with lids4) self-documenting, as you can see, using label tape5) using wide mouth jars reduces the problem of oil adhering to the walls of the container*Against my system:1) It's hard to get the labels on exactly horizontally, in my experience. (The dashed lines at either end indicate the correct levels.)2) Subject to breakageMotoP.S. After measuring, I use a syringe or a funnel to put the oil in, depending on clearance.*Elementary calculus shows the area of the sides and the bottom of an open-top cylinder is minimized for any given volume when the diameter is twice the height. (Not when it is equal to the height, as for a cylinder when including the area of both a top and a bottom.)
.....well, yeah...... kjf
I couldn't resist! It took me a couple of hours to correct my own mistakes in the derivation. I'm practicing up on my high school math fearing what lies ahead with my kid.My apologies...M.
I've got this Evercraft 3/8" drive torque wrench from Napa, 5-80ft lb. I bought it's big brother in 1/2" drive, too. Nice set for under $100, I've been very happy with them. On the shelf at your local Napa store.https://www.napaonline.com/napa/en/p/BK_7760951/BK_7760951
