Correction

I know this is an old thread, but in case anybody searches and finds it; the torque for the steam line tubes are 106 inch pounds. Not 30 foot pounds!

You may be referencing on a LS platform. This forum is for the GenII SBC LT1. There are banjo bolts that go on the back of the cylinder heads and it is indeed 30ft.lbs.
