Take off plenum

I want to take my AAM plenum spacer off, will there still be a chance of getting any leaks??

I doubt if you will have a problem. Adding a spacer includes an additional gasket and longer bolts. That's about it. Hint: when you put the plenum together again, torque the bolts properly.

David, could you clarify this for me. I'm seeing conflicting torques specs from other sources.

When I reinstalled my OEM plenum I went ahead and torqued everything to 61 inch lbs, using the tightening sequence provided to me from another source. I haven't noticed any leaks so far. What's your take on this?
