well i just have a small torque wrench on which i can use hex key attachments and torque it down. But ya i also tightened it real good, i am more worried about having it overtightened and crack the plastic plenum some how. I know not really possible unless the bolts are REALLY overtightened but ill check just to be sure.
Thanks again!
Thanks again!

how the hell does someone measure torque settings on these small Hex screws?
all I've got is a huge *** torque wrench I don't see how I can attach a small Hex tool to the end to measure the TQ, how did u do it Kool Yaar?
and WTH is Kool Yaar anyway? is it like saying cool yah just in a funny accent?

8.43 (0.86, 75) --- Even though the last number SHOULD refer to ft/lb (as it usually does in the factory service manual), I'm sure this was a mistake and it actually meant to say to in/lb. Roughly speaking, 8.43Nm = 0.86kg/m = 75in/lb = 6ft/lb.
That small screw was NOT made for 75ft/lb of torque. LOL Heck, our lug nuts are 80ft/lb!!

^ +1 when i got my small torque wrench yesterday i saw the reading were in in/lb so i figured the PDF meant 75in/lb so i tightened mine to 75in/lb yesterday, i was about to post that today.
@Defratos I have a tool similar to this but much cheaper, it is used for such small torquing needs.
