Link to the service manuals.
The correct SI Engineering term is Lb/Ft (mass/distance)
Think about it..you don't say m/n do you ( distance/mass)

I know there seems to be major confusion out there in recent years about this even professionals like Barum engines make this mistake for example, then everyone thinks they are using the correct terms from hearsay and use that expression themselves. but they aren't correct..

Think of it as a foot long wrench and you put a force of 100 Lbs on the end you can visualise that..

The wrong way, a 1 Lb weight on a 100ft wrench....
