I wish i could remember the link, but there is a website where you can download the entire factory service manual for free. Tells you everything!! If i wasn't at work right now i could find out for you. Don't quote me, but i'm pretty sure it's barely anything. Like 10ft lbs at the very most! And remember to at least go at a star pattern, although i know there is a specific order too for that. Sorry i can't be of more help

Use star pattern and tighten with one hand until you cant tighten anymore.. That is the spec..........

Do not use two hands..

Just to add to what jonb7007 said. Tighten with one hand with a nut driver. Do not use a ratchet or you'll over tighten and prob strip the threads.

you actually will snap the bolt before stripping the threads . Done it several times trying to fix a leak

As per the spacer instruction from Motordyne:

6 bolts in center of plenum: 60 inch pounds
12 bolts on outer edge of plenum: 100 inch pounds
