Re: 95 Camaro Z28

Anyone know the exact Torque Specs for the (4) Throttle body bolts that attach to the intake manifold?

 

I just get them nice and snug and then tighten then about a turn and a half.

 

snug then a turn and a half? that sounds like instant breakage.

 

I'm not talking about using a wrench or anything like that, just an allen key.

Thanks!

 

A torque wrench is your friend How many times do you read on this board about guys stripping bolt threads Threading steel bolts into aluminum housings like the intake manifold and heads is not the place to tighten until it breaks, then back off a quarter turn.

 

Just tighten the damn thing, using the correct wrench w/o leverage. Geez!

 

Bleh.... the only thing I use a torque wrench for is my head bolts.
