I'm attempting to solve an intake leak problem that I believe is keeping my engine from idling like it is supposed to. When I removed the manifold the bolts on the drivers side were barely finger tight. (Hummm, maybe that was my problem)
The Chilton's manual says to torque the bolts in two steps 50-60 ft lbs first in the sequence specified then 80-90 ft lbs in the same sequence. The problem is I have broken two different bolts now trying to get to the first setting of 60 ft lbs. Is this the right torque spec? What grade of hardware should I be looking for to replace my busted bolts?
Thanks,
Greg
