does anyone know an appropriate way to torque the plenum and runnners for an adequate seal. any input would be appreciated. in the past i have tightened the bottoms then the tops and this has seemed to work well but in light of my recent intake dilemna nothing must be overlooked.....

edit...no image attachments not technically related to the post

 

Not sure of the proper "by the book" method, but here's what I did. I torqued the bottom first then the top, doing the middle bolts first then the ends. I havent had any problems from doing it that way. If you're using a torque wrench I believe the setting is 25-30 ftlbs.

 

thanx for the reply

 

I've heard that it helps to retorque them after a heat cycle.
