Torque on intake bolts

[Anonymous]

Help I lost my list for these Im swapping out intakes putting on an aluminum Edelbrock and cant find the torque for it. I remember the sequence is around the center then back then front but just am blank on how tight. ](*,)

i always did 25ft lbs but 30 is not far off, just be careful dont wanna crack the intake with tightening too much!

I must be a true hillbilly,never could figure out how to get a torque wrench on the four middle bolts on a small block without extensions and universals and stuff like that which will change your torque value anyway,I always relied on my Matco long handled 9/16" combination wrench,run the pattern snug,let it settle for a couple minutes,snug them again cause they'll settle in,let it sit for a couple more minutes and then go about a quarter turn and never had a problem,Later,KillerDave

Start at 20 lbs/ft. & increase by 5 lbs/ft till you get to 30. "Spiral" pattern starting form the center.
