Message:
Heh since i got my vehicle down for a week its
time for some modding >:)

Now im grinding on the intake manifold but im not sure of some things...
Can i reuse the bolts off the intake manifold, what do i torque the bolt down to, and in what pattern?
Any tips would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance.

Just wire wheel the threads and reuse the bolts

Intake 12 to 14 foot pounds
pletium cover 14 to 16 foot pounds and blue locktight

silicon all 4 corners where the rubber seal meats
the gaskits lay a bead there and all will be fine

thanks for the info i got it off yesterday and found i had a bad gasket anyways. i found oil puddled up right where i couldnt see it way in the back and not visable from the bores

lol so far every part ive changed or modded needed fixed or replaced anyways

BTW where can i get the rubber seals... i really want to avoid putting the cork seal at the front and back of the manifold

Thanks
