Sorry about that; you're absolutely right; what I gave was for the intake
bolts themselves. Dangit. What can I say, I went to a public school and a
state college? Nah, that's too easy. ;-) Anyhoo, yep, the plenum bolts
should be tightened to 24 in-lbs, then 48 in-lbs, then 84 in-lbs, with a
final check at 84 in-lbs. (Each time starting in the middle and working
your way out in a criss-cross pattern.)
My apologies again for my stupid post. One of my pet peeves is the
dissemination of incorrect info and here I go and do exactly that.
:-P
