ooops didnt see that!!!

The Torque is 15nm or 11 ft/lbs so not very much surprisingly.

11lbs.. that is a lot less than I thought but being a composite intake it may be enough. Thanks guys.

M7 x 1.0 bolts only take 15Nm/11lb-ft no matter what you're bolting down except in some special internal engine fasteners.

M6 = 7.5lb-ft
M7 = 11lb-ft
M8 = 18lb-ft

Back up and on the road. Thanks guys. It was a lot easer than it looked to do the job.

They are metal sleeved... be very difficult to break the plastic retainers as metal sleeves are same width. what you do over tightening, is over compress the gaskets and cause them to flatten
