How much to torque?
Guys, when putting the IM back on after replacing the rear bank spark plugs, how much should i torque down the nuts and bolts that hold the IM in place?

Thanks!

You could search for that answer. I think it has been listed on some of the how-to on here before.

I've never used a torque wrench when doing mine. So, 'Until they're tight'.

\DL an FSM and see what it tells you.

the bolts that hold the rear bank coils are just there to make sure they dont come loose, id torque them until the 1/4 ratchet starts requiring force, then stop.
