work for calibrating engines? Thanks!!

Hi Jefte, this wrench calibrates the torque you use to tighten nuts and bolts. Your expression "calibrating engines" I cannot understand. Ed

Sure..... It will work for any torque application that requires 20 to 200 inch pounds of torque. In many cases engines require torque wrenches that measure foot pounds instead of inch pounds (1 ft pound = 12 in pounds)

Mark - I didn't test it against a runner, but I did test it against a tuning fork, and the indicated reading was what it should have been. Of course, there's no guarantee that the calibration of one unit is a good guide to the calibration of another. That's why I bought the tuning fork!

You could probably get it to work with a little bit of effort? It works by reading a magnetetic bolt that holds a disk to the wheel. Just use the magnet and calibrate itto the size tire just like you would for a motorcycle.

Yes. Calibration is not a big deal. it is a matter of choosing a weight and a distance from the head and applying a simple formula. Simply do a web search for calibrating a torque wrench. There are multiple sites with detailed instructions.

If by "calibrate" you mean manually set the thermometer to a specific temperature, then the answer is "no". On the other hand, if you mean by "calibrate" to check out against a preset temperature, then "yes" you could do this..e.g., immersing the probe in an ice bath.

There's an installation diagram but I would suggest you have it installed by a competent mechanic. He'll be removing the stock airbox too. No calibration is needed, no special tools required.

Sounds like it's defective. I never really calibrated mine, but it seems to work fine. Sorry! Send it back

Need more info , the carb can be used on anything if the fit allows and the tuner knows what he is doing , since out of the box calibration is probably not correct

Interesting question. You might try the Taylor site. My past experience has been that the calibration isn't correct if it is replaced. My friend upgraded to this unit when his failed. I will probably follow suit. ChefAlarm by ThermoWorks - (Red)

Hi Zitch I just look up the operating instructions on line and it does not indicate that you can calibrate this gauge. I have checked mine against a few manual gauges and it was very accurate. Hope this helps. Dave.

Not sure about that Michael. Maybe someone else can respond to your question. I really don't think it would calibrate correctly.....just my opinion.

I checked the users guide and do not see any information about calibration of the unit. There is a support number you can call.

I assume there is some measure of calibration at the factory. There is no calibration certificate, nor is there any way to calibrate the unit short of modifying the cable length. It is, however, the most accurate unit I have owned. Unfortunately, that accuracy is only with the original thermocouples - using other type K thermocouples from Amazon and other suppliers results in bizarre readings. It would be very useful to have a calibration function on the unit.

No, if you have something that needs a specific torque this is not the tool to use. While this is a very good and reliable tool you cannot calibrate torque settings.

First, I bought the TA100 after an extensive search primarily to accurately check idle speed on my 2 & 4 cylinder motorcycles. It works perfectly. There is a setting for single cylinder engines so the answer is "Yes". Very well made with quality hard case.

No you can calibrate your speedometer for tire size and gear ratio if you change from stock; use the performance tune for regular or premium gas; remove option for 4 cylinders vs 8; set new shift points on transmission and remove speed limiter. I just use for re calibration of my speedometer as I change from a 3.08 to a 3.73. Much happier.

I do not recall anything about calibration and I no longer have it. After spending two days with very unusual readings, I threw it in the trash. I purchased a used military compass which still works after 30 years.
