maybe i'm remembering the directions wrong but I thought that it said you could single hand tighten those with a workman's leather glove on and that would be approx~ 90-100 needed. this is if you couldnt find that in./lbs torque wrench.

motordyne should have the directions up to verify if this is true. i'm too lazy

 

You are correct, you can use a "nut driver" by hand, but it's not as good.

 

going to harbor friegt rite now...just called they have them in stock..thanks a lot guys!!!

I got mine from harbor freight, $19.99 when I installed my Motordyne plenum.

 

Cmon man i know you had to have done a little research....

 

you don't HAVE to use a torque wrench mayne.. it's not mandatory..

 

There were, at least, three postings (that I saw) of "I snapped the bolt off in the plenum". For $20, why take a chance.

 

I did mine by hand, none have come loose but I agree, get the inch/pounds wrench since you have access to a cheap one. Also, I suggest to use thread lock on all the bolts to be sure they stay put

 

muhahaha, we have a little 1/4" inch/lb torque wrench at my old shop for TPMS sensors... i just borrow it whenever i need
-GP-

 

did you use it on the perimeter screws or the plenum screws?

 

while installing or while they were driving the plenum screws popped? (aw hell, looking for a torque wrench).. lmao

 

When i took off my plenum spacer and installed the stock bolts, i used a 3/8" drive wrench and 12mm socket on both the perimeter bolts and plenum bolts. No problems what so ever. As long as you're careful and dont tighten too much, you'll be good. Your safest bet would be the in/lb tq wrench. But all is not lost if you dont have one.

All of the screws

 

my screws are tight, and I didn't pop anything.. my spacer's in fine.. I don't know whether to worry or not, will I know something wrong before? any signs to look for? or will I just know if it pops?

 

while they were installing it. They used a standard 3/8 socket wrench and snapped the bolts off flush inside the plenum.
