Anybody help me out with torque specs for the intake manifold & valve covers on a 273 in a 64 Valiant? Thermostat housing too, perhaps? (Figured I'd just snug it up and give a 1/4 turn or so beyond that for the Tstat)
For the intake, it's 40 ft lbs.
Tightening sequence: 11 7 3 1 5 9 12 8 4 2 6 10
(Each number is a bolt)
I just go old school on the others. Snug em down evenly but don't get carried away on the valve covers. To loose or to tight.......leak!
