I sent the OP a message.

Different locations use different standards of measurement. The US uses Imperial so I'm not sure why there is surprise that torques given in a random internet post by someone living in the US are in ft-lbs. Anywhere else in the world, you could probably expect Nm.

Torque values are not supposed to be given in any one standard. The FSM torque values are provided in NM, ft-lbs, and in-lbs.

I think they are saying that the values are erroneously labeled in lbs but are actually in Nm. So if one uses those numbers and assumes that they are in lbs, they will over torque.


Hopefully OP can return and straighten this out.
