putting the motor back together and am now at the point of putting the lower intake manifold back on. Ive been looking online for the right torque specs and its telling me to tighten the 4 diagonal bolts to 115lbs??? That sounds like a lot for those small bolts plus its going into the aluminum head. Is this right??? I stopped at this point, didnt want to make a major mistake and have to pull the heads back off.
Can anyone tell me if this is right?
Thanks

 

That looks like Inch pound - I have seen those measurements in book too, when was putting together my Venture had to convert them to ft-lb

1 inch pound force = 0.0833333333 foot pound

115 inch pound force = 9.58333333 foot pound

Can't comment is 115 inch pounds right force as don't have book close by.

Cheers!

 

Thanks for the response, I realized that it was in-lb. I found a conversion chart online. Strange that they would put it that way instead of ft-lb. Led to a lot of confusion.
thanks again
