Well, crap. I was looking at "Intake Manifold Bolts - 15 ft/lbs". So you're saying the bolts I am tightening now are "Cylinder Head Cover Bolts - 7 ft/lbs"?



If so, why does Rob list the specs at 10 ft/lbs on the cork gasket page? Difference in material?

NeedsWings Performance Products. NeedsWings Intake Manifold Gaskets

So 15 ft/lbs is wrong, what exactly are these specs for? I see this number all over the forum, what bolts are we talking about for this spec?
