Plenum and Trumpet Base - Torque wrench settings

[mgjc]

I've tried finding this info on the forums and the web but with no success.

So can someone advise me on what the torque wrench settings are for...

a) the 6 trumpet base bolts into inlet manifold bolts.
b) the 6 plenum bolts into the trumpet base.

As I have a possible air leak around either two surfaces, I'm re-fixing them with blue hylomar and want to torque down the bolts correctly.

Cheers

Very little I should imagine.

Just ease them down equally starting from the inner ones working out.

Don't use a large wrench!

Going by other bolts on this list I'd say about 10 lbs.

I've got a 6 - 45 ft/lb torque wrench and was going to start at 8 and see how I went.

12 - 15 IBS for that size fastener generally I would still use some non hard setting thread lock on those trumpet base screws though Hylomar should be fine for the mating faces too

Cheers Sardonicus - the non hardening thread lock is a good shout
