Default Torque setting on plenum bolts

For those of you that replaced your plenums, did you bother to use the proper torque settings on the plenum bolts (5) or just guess. I replaced my stock plenum with an Accufab and my manual recommeds the following torque settings on the plenum bolts:

53 inch pounds
then
71 inch pounds
then
90 degree turn

My torque wrench starts at 120 inch pounds[:@]

I think its supposed to be between 71 and 106 inch pounds. I did mine by hand with no problems. Just dont go too tight, you don't want to crack the plastic manifold.

Just use ur best judgement.No reason tobe a hero and crack ur manifold like Mark99gt said. Re-check them in a day or two to make sure they hold tight.
