What spec do I need to torque my anodized v/c bolts to on my b18c5 to make sure they won't mess up the look of them?

Can I torque it to 100ft. lbs. 7 times?

Yes you can do that. Just make sure you go in a criss cross fashion as to not warp the gasket.

Don't you need to tack weld them in as well, since their anodized?

So, I don't have a torque wrench in ft./lbs. I've only got in./lbs. I calculated it up, and I think I need to torque it 100x at 7in./lbs right? Will that work too? I really don't want to mess these annodized bolts up because I paid almost $200 for the set. Thanks for all the help fellow App/Cos. users!
