Hey, I have an 88 5.0 and have a sorta weird question. My question is about torqueing the lower intake manifold. I am about to install Gt40 heads and Gt40 upper and lower intake manifold and am concerned about the torque. My friend and I replaced his head gaskets last week on his 5.0 and after I was done torqueing the lower intake manifold, I went to go recheck the torque with the torque wrench and found that the bolts had to be torqued again. I torqued them down and recheck and found that the passeneger side bolts were still not torqued but the drivers side ones were. I continued with the torque sequence again (never loosening the bolts, just continuing) and after rechecking again, I found the the passenger side bolts needed to be tightened again as the drivers side was tight. I did this step about 4 times all together and then just left the bolts alone. To me I dont think that the bolts were stretching or anything like that, should I have continued torquing or sound I have stopped? I dont want to run into this problem with my car but if I do what should I do? Please let me know as I'm starting this prject very soon. Thank you.
