Manifold torque

[Markus]

I am assembling my intake after cleaning it and I simply cannot find torque specs for attaching the runners/butterflys to the intake in the Helms manual.

Does anyone know the spec?

well i cant find it in the chilton manual either, but i would say 10 - 11 ft/lbs would be safe. i did mine by hand without a torque wrench making sure each was sufficiently torqued without stripping and im not having any problems. maybe someone else has a real number for you though.

If you are talking about the 12 intake-to-head bolts they are 11-17 ft-lbs. DON'T over torque them they aren't fun to take out broken.
