what tool is needed to get the proper torque on the intake bolts...It sure does not look like a conventional torque wrench will work....:dontknow:

I know I will get blasted for this, but I dont use one:D I can look , but I think trq specs is like 7lbs? but I usually get them snug, then 1/4 turn, but be careful they strip easy:D :D


but if you go by sears I think they have a small trq wrenc that goes below 10lbs
 
The intake torque is Nm 11 or 95 inch pounds (not ft.pounds):D :D

Just need an inch lb torque wrench, torque values that small should not be done with a Ft.Lb Torque wrench. The wrench is available at Harbour Frieght and most auto stores.Make sure you get a wobble head socket also, makes that one nasty bolt easier to get to.

You are welcome sir :D :D :D :marchmellow: :marchmellow:
 
Earl been rebuilding a new rental property for Sandy---and since last wed. recovering from throwing out my back....Luckily I still have some Vioxx and bummed some percocets from a friend...
 
Good to see you Jim
Take care of that back and get that thing powder coated while its off!
 
Thanks James....I am going to try to relocate the coil packs when I change the plug wires ---just need to find a way/ place to mount it that looks good...Everything going good with you guys?
 
Colder than hell but with Direct TV I am ok....still seeing the Bucs!
Are you going to have the intake manifold powdered?
 
Possibly ---but my main reason for doing the removal is the plug wires and I only want to do intake removal 1 time , hence finding a way to relocate the coil packs...
 
I have never done it obviously but what does the gasket under there look like. I have down time and would love to send mine off for paint but without help I am a bit nervous pulling it off. I imagine wires and coil packs would be a good idea if I go for it
 
James scroll up and see the pics Wifey posted.....do you have a copy of the service manual cd....you need to get one....if I could find mine I could send you a copy...if not check with brat or others...

Look at the new Viper Engine, the coils are not under the intake, maybe some of that setup will work( the coils are on top the valve covers with a cover over them)
