Manual doesn't specify re-torque after installation so I would make sure you hit those torque numbers on the money with your torque wrench. At least 3 circuits around. There is no sequence in the manual as where to start but I do center out in a circle.

Note: these torque specs for the IH and fuel rail is different in the general engine section 6. That section indicates 20 lb ft instead of 19 lbft. Strange.
THanks for specs there Franke; too lazy to grease up the FSM pages ATM, with grease - grub grease!

Half a yard bird, snap beans and 'taters, down in 5 minutes!

Moly grease, THIN film, both sides of coolant man gasket
