I searched the FSM, but could not find a torque value for the S5 LIM. Do any of you know?

Mike

 

Couldn't find one in my Hanes manual, but it won't be very high. Maybe 20-25 ft lbs. I always just do it by feel.

 

i'm heard it was around 30 to 35, dont quote me on that... just what i've heard

 

thanks guys. I'm surprised that there is nothing in FSM about the torque value considering that the manifold is a fairly soft aluminum. Any over-torque could distort/warp the manifold.

 

get it tight with the rachet,then give a good Slap..done!..Torqued!...I've never used a torque wrench either,(only on Cylinder heads..what's that?//its a ..oh....Never mind!..lol!)..

 

One time I took a junk yard 2.2L chevy engine and the plugs were broken off in the head so I decided to just put the head on it form my old 2.0 liter chevy. I didnt torque anything, I didnt do it in order, I didnt seal the bolts hell I didnt even use a new head gasket. To top it off it was an aluminum head. I never had a problem with it, and I beat the hell out of that car. Funny how thinks work out when you dont care about it.

On the same token, I would never do this to something I cared about.

 

LIM to the block or LIM to the MIM/UIM???

 

my book says 15-19
