re-installing my gn1's with felpro 1007 gaskets with receiver grooves. should i torque the intake manifold before the heads? just wondering what the benefits are? and whats the proper procedure. Is their any risks to doing this with the reciever grooves.
thanks.
I have one spec. saying studs @70ft/lbs and intake bolts @ 25-30 ft/lbs .. both with lube on threads. Would seem that with the number of studs + torque value holding down yer GN1 heads, the intake could be done last.
I believe i ve read to finish torquing down the intake before the heads to assure a good intake fit. Cause no way if you torque down the heads first will you be able to pull your intake in where it needs to be .
