OK - Thanks to Don & Peter - it just seemed a couple of the bolts were
little more than finger tight - but I guess 18.4 #'s Ft. is not much more
than finger tight.
OK - no Locktite - but I will put a dab on anti-seize on the bolts -
*Now for my next question:* Has anyone found a good way to clean the intake
plenum? Looks like the inside of a flooded coal mine (at night) in there
with a buildup of black stuff perhaps 1/8" thick. I'm tempted to drive the
parts down to the local pressure car wash & spray them off! But I hate to
mess the place up for those who come behind me...
Thx!

From 14-1310 on the CD - 25nm, or 18.4 lb-ft. No lock-tite needed. All it
needs is enough torque to seal to the head -

Hi Gang -- I have started to prep things so I can rebuild my delivery
valves - I have the springs, washers and o-rings and started
disassembling
the intake stuff.
One problem - when I started removing the bolts that hold the intake
manifold to the head I found them to not be very tight - I was told by
others on the list that the torque should be "20Nm/14-15ft-lbs" which
seems
pretty low to me. I looked at my Data Book but could not find the torque
for the intake bolts. I looked for 1/2 hour but could not find it.
Can anyone confirm the torque value for the manifold bolts for my 602-962
engine? Also, should I use LockTite on the bolt threads? I'll look some
more but would appreciate any help.
Thx
