What is the torque on a 350 Chevy intake manifold?

In the GM 350-cubic-inch engine, the intake manifold bolts to the cylinder head with 33 foot-pounds of torque. The intake manifold supplies this engine’s eight cylinders.

What are the torque specs on the intake manifold?

Torque Specifications

The fuel rail bolts to the intake manifold at 7.42 foot-pounds of torque. The nuts and bolts of the intake manifold connect to the cylinder head at 30 foot-pounds of torque. The throttle-body-to-intake-manifold bolts connect at 18 foot-pounds.

How tight should my intake manifold bolts be?

Tighten the lower vertical intake manifold bolts to 115 inch-pounds (13 Nm), then tighten the lower diagonal intake manifold bolts to 115 inch-pounds (13 Nm). Make sure you use an accurate torque wrench that has been calibrated within the last six to 12 months.

What is a torque pattern?

Bolt tightening sequences are when an arrange of bolts are tightened in a pattern to the required torque. The sequence the bolts are tightened is a symmetrical pattern to reduce the amount of pre-load lost in a bolt, as a result of elastic interactions. Torque is normally applied to a bolt using a torque wrench.

Do you need to torque exhaust manifold?

Technically, it’s only necessary to tighten the manifold fasteners correctly. Some experienced mechanics can do that without a torque wrench.

How do I make a intake manifold gasket?

What are intake gaskets made of?

Typically made from aluminized steel coated in a carbon-based rubber compound, the intake manifold gasket seals the intake manifold to the engine. High-quality intake manifold gaskets, such as Fel-Pro ®, are constructed as one-piece with reinforced edges and linings around each port or runner opening.

What should exhaust clamps be torqued to?

Band clamps are usually tightened to 40ft-lbs and U-bolt clamps should be approximately 30-35ft-lbs. You want the U-bolt to uniformly pull down the larger slip-on pipe, without deforming the inside pipe. Re-check the fasteners after 25-50miles of operation and retighten as needed.

What grade bolts should I use for exhaust manifold?

You don’t need seriously strong bolts just to fasten manifolds to the heads. Grade 5 is fine.

How do you torque exhaust manifold studs?

Use a small amount of anti-seize on the exposed threads that will be in contact with the nut. Install the exhaust manifold gasket and exhaust manifold. Install the washers and 12-point nuts and torque the nuts to 40 ft-lbs. Tighten in a sequence working from the inside to the outside as shown at right.
