Just looking for an opinon on if it is ok to Re-Torque the Intake Manifold on an AQ260 350 V8? This season, it has developed a slow coolant leak near one of the bolts which ends up burning and creating a pretty nasty smell. I just have one, maybe two small trips left for this season and won't have time to re-do the gasket until winter. If I re-torque, what is the sequence and how many ft/lbs?

Any feedback very much appreciated!

Thanks,

Chris
 
Start in the center and work your way out in a circle in the same direction on every pass. No torque wrench needed. Just make several passes and make the bolts as tight as you would the thermostat housing.
