Torquing intake manifold bolts question
I am trying to rule out vac leaks. I want to re torque the intake. It is aluminum and was going to tighten to 25 ft lbs.
The first couple were looser than I expected, so I changed the wrench setting to 20, so I could bring them up more evenly. There are 2 bolts I can't get the socket on. They are the ones the fuel log mounts to. The one near the Diz is tough too. I used a universal on a wicked angle. i do not like to do this when I am torquing. I left them all at 20 lbs until I can figure out how to torque those 2 impossible bolts. I did not want to much of a difference
All my heads are 3/8 6 points and the two for the fuel log are 3/8 12 point. These two are on the Pass side right next to the biggest intake runners
Any ideas?
Thanks...Dave
