Walter, the water outlet bolts are 5/16x18 so they can be safely torqued to around 15 lb/ft. If using an aluminum intake manifold I recommend a little anti-seize cpd. on the threads to prevent galling.
Thanks everyone for the comments. I too like the O ring housings. When they work they work well. I especially like not having to scrape off gasket material whenever I want to remove the housing. I think I have just run through a string of bad luck lately with these housings. I checked two of them and both were warped. Looks like I need to do the glass pane and sandpaper routine. In the past I have used self-stick 220 grit on a glass pane with success.
