budDynabuick Posted July 5, 2006 Posted July 5, 2006 hey all! i recently put my intake on with new gaskets.i torqued to specs with a accurate wrench. car started and ran great. next mourning i checked bolts and they had had backed out from 30 to 20 lbs.these bolts have lost their torque 3 times!!! everytime ire-torque these bolts and check with carb cleaner it is not sucking air.but after heating up and cooling down, they lose their torque. do i need new bolts? lock-tight? lock-washers? more torque? btw, the engine is a 1963 215 aluminum. i do not think the intake has ever been removed. thanks for any and all help.keith
