hey, i just want to clarify the torque sequence and specs for the intake


its the offset ones, then the outside, then the inside right?


and the final torque is 22 right, should i push it to like 15 and then 22, or should i just go straight to 22

The upper to lower is 12 - 18 ft/lbs. The lower to the head bolts is 23 - 25 ft/lbs.

when you've been doing it as long as some of us, you don't even need a torque wrench. i can use a 3/8 ratchet and get each bolt with with 5 lbs of accuracy without even trying.

over 30 times, to get to 22lb, using a proper tool, something is wrong.
