where do i find the torque specs for the IM bolts?

 

In the Helms manual?

A better question might be ... what are the torque specs.

well i didnt want to seem like a lazy as$ i didnt even know they had a helms out for our car. but it doesnt matter now. i am taking it to the dealership so they can do it for 20$

 

They're going to install a Hondata intake manifold gasket at the dealership for $20?
That's not bad at all.

 

no i installed it and i am taking it to them to torque the bolts down. cause i dont want to be driving and a few months down the road my manifold crack or warp and i cant replace it for free. this way the dealership toques the bolts so if somthing happens they cant say its because the bolts werent torqued right

 

^ what's possibly going to happen? Also if something were to actually happen because of the aftermarket part... goodluck.

 

well actually if the IM bolts arent torqued right it will warp your manifold ive seen it

 

16lb ft in a criss cross pattern starting with the center bolt. No need to go to the dealer for this.
