You can torque most intake manifolds to 35 ft/lbs (metal only, plastic ones are a different beast lol) but to get the exact torque spec buy a shop manual. TommyTrouble XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Always start in the middle and use a crisscross pattern.
The 1997 Buick LeSabre intake manifold bolt torque specifications is 45 pounds per square inch. The manifold bolts should be torqued in 15 pound intervals.
Correct torque on 2000 model : 18 Ft. lbs.- upper intake manifold [ plenum ].
what is the torque specificationfir the rockerarm bolt on 1991 Buick le Sabre v-6 3.8 liter
The torque specification for the lower intake manifold on a 2004 Buick LeSabre with a 3.8L engine is typically around 11 lb-ft (15 Nm). It's important to follow a specific tightening sequence in multiple steps to ensure even pressure across the manifold. Always refer to a repair manual for the precise procedure and torque sequence for your specific vehicle.
You did not mention if it was the intake to the cylinder head bolts (1993 buick lesabre 96 in-lbs)..... or ..... the intake upper to lower bolts ( 1993 buick 132 in -lbs) but i hope you will know wich you are looking at since there is a large difference in torqe.
intake torque specs 2002 buik century
The lower intake manifold to cylinder head torque specification is 132 inch pounds. The upper plastic intake plenum to lower intake should be done in three steps 22 inch pounds, 44 inch pounds and thirdly 89 inch pounds. Be sure to follow the appropriate tightening sequence diagram.
For a Buick LeSabre, the torque specification for the upper intake manifold bolts is typically around 89 inch-pounds (10 Nm). It's important to follow a specific tightening sequence and to ensure that the bolts are torqued to this specification in stages to prevent warping. Always consult the vehicle's service manual for the most accurate and detailed information.
What's wrong with it?
replace the water heater inlet pipe on the intake manifold on a 3800
I'm pretty sure this is that same 3800 motor that gm uses in my mom's 2001 buick Le Sabre. Her intake was the fiberglass resin plastic and the torque specs are 89 INCH pounds. Make sure you use the right tightening sequence too. 89 inch pounds is for the upper intake or Plenum. 136 inch pounds is the torque specs for the lower intake
18436572, should be stamped on factory intake manifold
