Title: Intake torque figures?
Post by: dbgrubbs on August 16, 2008, 10:47:45 AM

Anybody know the torque settings for both the upper and lower intakes?

I started out trying to fix a coolant leak. Turned out it was the throttle body plate heater. Didn't figure it out until I was halfway to the mess under the intake. Oh well. I wanted to delete all the mess, paint the upper intake and install 4 pintle injectors anyway. I just need the torque settings so I can put it all back together.

Thanks
Don
