Torque for Bolts for Plenum?

[Yankee John]

I searched my service manual and couldn't find the torque for the bolts for the intake plenum to intake manifold. Anyone have this????

Thanks in advance!

I believe it is 20lbs. Let me double check.:biggrin:

I think thats close, but last time I did mine I think the manual said it was 14lbs? maybe... Not sure. I just did mine hand tight plus a little bit and havent had any problems. Also used some blue loctite on the bolts. Had a vacuum leak there, not this time. Also used RTV instead of a gasket.

Hope this helps.

I went 20lbs on mine. I did use studs instead of bolts. I think that 15lbs would be fine. They will stripe easily.
