Just wondering whats the order to tigheten intake bolts and what ft-lbs. Also Im going to use permatex gasket sealer withthe valley pan. Says its good with gas.
Tighten the bolts in a criss cross pattern from the center to the ends. Basicly, start near the carb and work your way out towards the front and back of the motor. The spec is 20-25 ftlbs but i just use a wrench and tighten by feel. Make sure to get the felpro 1215 valley pan that blocks off the heat crossover.
Ex: 1-2-3-4 (passenger side)
5-6-7-8 (driver side)
If these are the intake bolts, looking at the top of the intake, here is the order: 6-3-7-2-8-1-5-4
