The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Engine Shop ex. manofold tork

Doe's anyone know the corect tork on the ex. , intake manofold of a 216 that's in my 3/4 ton 3600. also, is the gasket, metal side out, paper side on block. On the 4in. gasket that is between in take and ex.,on a combo manofold, which manofold gets the metal side of the gasket. Thanks Again Paul

Any bolt that uses a clamp, should be 15 to 20 ft lbs. Any bolt that uses just a stud and nut should be 25 to 30 ft lbs. I always put the gaskets on metal up or out depending on the place. I dont know that it matters as the metal in mostly just for reenforcing the gaskets.
