and over until they don't take any more movement with a good inch lb. torque wrench, same thing after running the motor to warm it up, retighten those bolts many times until they stop tightening




I agree, just be sure to use an INCH LB wrench, I believe the spec is only 12 inch lbs? It isn't much that's for sure! You don't want to break off a chunk of cylinder head by over torqueing the intake bolts.

I also agree on the low vacuum failing to pull down the metering rods, no vacuum will = pig rich with those carbs.


The FSM calls for 72 inch lbs(6 ft. lbs) on the center four intake bolts on both sides and 48 inch lbs(4 ft. lbs.) on the rest of the outer bolts and studs
