Intake Bolts Supposed to be Loose?
Intake Bolts Supposed to be Loose? I have a 2001 Camaro SS and its seems like my intake bolts are loose for some reason..im not sure how tight there supossed to be(88 ft lb I think),but when I put a ratchet on them there all turning with ease.
Be careful how much you torque them because they will either snap or crack the intake if you make them too tight.
Either use a short handled 1/4" ratchet and tighten them till they are snug or get a in/lb torque wrench and torque them properly.

Yea there pretty loose,it doesnt take any effort to turn them with a ratchet and the reason ive been poking around checking things is because I am having idle problems like someone suggested,.....it seems like they all just want to keep turning and not become snug?
If they are that loose it might cause other problems as well 
If they are not tightening like they should pull the bolt all the way out and make sure it didnt already break and that the threads are still good.
