Intake tightening sequence.
- Thread starter 10 BANGER
- Start date
95-100 in/lbs.
The sequence is start at the middle cylinders, and jump side to side in an outward spiral.
Cyl order 5, 6, 8, 7, 3, 4, 10, 9, 1, 2

Should I run the bolts down snug first in the same sequence and then go back and apply the torque value again in the same order.
Thanks Dan
Yep, at least start the threads on all of them.
Unless there is some magical tool I dont believe you will be able to torque them all down. I wasnt. for the ones i couldnt I just got the feeling of what 10ft pounds was and did them by hand. Dan what do you for those you cant get a torque wrench on?
You are correct, a couple of them cant be torqued. You can just give them a "hand torque" based on the feel of an already torqued nearby bolt. With the same wrench, you will be able to get it pretty darn close.

You can use a torx head socket and a wobble end extension to tighten the hard to get to bolts. They all can and should be torqued.
The angle of the upper runner bolts in some cases prevents the torx from fitting correctly, and the angle that they are being tightened at is going to screw up the torque application anyway. All in all, considering it is only 95 in/lb we are talking about here, on top of an o-ring style gasket type, it is not worth trying to torque them. You will likely be closer in the end with less likely screw damage by just doing them by hand.
