I second that - in fact - I would say it is a must. Especially considering
that the intake bolts shouldn't be re-used. This is because they are of the
"torque to yield" variety. Which basically means once torqued - they stretch
and never return. Put another way - they are junk after one use. Pretty cheap
I'd say. Especially after only 12 foot-pounds. This kind of stuff really
pisses me off. I want some ARP studs in there now. Damn cheap arse friggen
OEMs....
