What it means

How much turn is that?

Reference torques are typical values. Always use the figure in your own service manual for wheel nuts and engine bolts.

The math

To convert gram-force centimeters to newton-centimeters, multiply by 0.00980665.

Example: 100 gf·cm × 0.00980665 = 0.980665 N·cm.

In the other direction, 1 N·cm = 101.972 gf·cm.
