360 magnum, torqued the intake bolts to 25 ft/lbs.
Doesn't seem to be leaking.
Do we take them out and put them back to 12, or just leave well enough alone?

Let it go now...12 feels light to me, 25 really is'nt all that bad...I would'nt go looser now...Just remember the torque value next time... I always overtorque different stuff depending on the track record of the piece...If it's a problem child then I adjust my grip accordingly... ...

If it,s not leaking , i,d leave them alone.

Although f.w.i.w. The stock magnum intake bolts are Torque to yield type bolts and aren,t supposed to be reused .
