I had a new gasket put in and they said i needed to come back in 200 miles to have the bolts torqued on all the way on the manifold. I'm just going to do it myself but i don't know what to torque the bolts to. Does anyone know what its supposed to be at? Its a 1992 302. Thanks

the reason they are saying this is the gasket will settle some after several heat cycles and the bolts will need to be re-tightened down..

I just torque them down by feel.. just once they get nice and tight.

18-24 ft/lbs from the center bolts outwards, basically hand tight.
