Intake bolts...
Intake bolts... Doing the ls6 swap and was just making sure its ok to re use the old bolts. I have heard a couple of horror stories about bolts breaking during installs. I read that 96 in/lbs is the torque spec, is that correct?
^ Yeah it's fine.. The torque spec was in two passes last I remember.

the first pass, tighten to 44 INCH-lbs, then, on the 2nd pass torque them to 89 INCH-lbs
And a pic for ya.

^ That's a steal for an LS6 intake.

They gained 24rwhp, 14ftlbs of torque.

And once you get to 89 in/lbs, keep going around in the pattern until the bolts stop moving. I know on mine, I went around prolly 5 or 6 times until they all were at 89 for good...

^ Don't worry about it bro. You can delete your posts. EDIT > Delete > Delete. 89 in/lbs feels fine on these bolts. You'll be good. And I agree with the other poster. It's not a bad idea to go in the sequence again to double check the torque.
