Hello
I am in the process of replacing the rope seal between the upper and lower shells. I know that the 10 long bolts are torqued at 89 in. lb.
However, not quite sure about the torque specs on the 3 front and 3 rear short bolts that hold both shells together.
Any input will be appreciated.

I have just found the instructions for the 102mm FAST intake manifold, where they mentioned to torque the short bolts at 70-89 in lb. I guess I am going to torque them the same as the long ones as you mentioned because of same size

I am going to use some blue loctite on the bolts. I have already removed the old seals and hopefully will be able to lay down the new rope seal nicely so it won’t leak😬. Yes you are right, laying a small bead of rtv would do the job.
