Print Dad 58 Report post Posted September 20, 2009 Hello All, I am getting ready to change the intake gasket and in my prep. I looked at 2 books to find intake torque specs. Both book differ quite a bit. One says final 14-18 the other 23-25 5/16 - or 28-32 3/8. The second book with higher numbers seems a bit more logical but I want to be sure. I do know about the sequence and taking it down in 3 rotations or 3 sequences. I appreciate all the help I have been given. I just like to be prepared and do things right the first time.

Print Dad 58 Report post Posted September 21, 2009 Hello all, I believe the second set on numbers is correct. I think the first book is going in the trash. 14-18 makes no sense but that is what the book says. Just thought this may help others.......
