Default Retorquing Intake Manifold Bolts - Necessary?
I posted this in the FordFE.com forum, but so far no replies. My 428 FE was completely rebuilt last year, burned in on the dyno, and now has about 500 miles on it. Any need to retorque anything, such as the intake manifold bolts? The heads are Edelbrock, intake is Blue Thunder. If a retorque is in order what ft. lbs. do you recommend and is it necessary to loosen the bolt first before retorquing?
