kg cm is an abuse of metric units. Slight improvement would be kgF*cm but N*cm would be what someone with a science or engineering degree would use. I think "kg cm" as a unit of torque might be reserved for arts majors from a second-class school.

haha this is funny
 
I prefer ft. lbs. unless it is a very low torque value that would result in decimal form, then I'd go to in. lbs. and from there I'd go to oz. in.
 
I have yet to determine the torque required to turn the adjustment knob on the Wilwood Hydraulic Brake Proportioning Valve but I did talk to Wilwood and they said it takes a complete 8 turns from fully closed to fully open. That means there is a 7.125% reduction in rear braking for every turn clockwise from fully open.
 
I won't be making adjustments to the brakes while applying them not that that would make a difference and I'm pretty sure the valve is designed not to "add air to the line every time the knob is turned", its a valve designed specifically for hydraulic brake bias adjustment and that is exactly what I'm using it for. It is also fairly expensive and is made by a well known, reputable comapny. Why would you assume it would leak?
