Banjo torque
 
Quick Question
Is there a torque value for the banjo fitting bolt on the back of the intake manafold and if so what is it? Just want to get it right.
Thanks for any info.

did it today...
just snug is right; don't want to overtorque.

Answer:
 
Do not recall.
It is very easy to strip out the threads.
Caution and just enough tension to hold the fitting snug.

I do them by feel, best guess = low inch pound range.

Use a regular combination wrench to tighten the bolt not a socket wrench. These combo wrenchs vary in length according to bolt size to give a good feel for the right amount of torque to apply.

The 617 engine manual does not specify a torque value for that fitting.

I always do it by feel......but is just a bit tighter than it needs to be so it won't rotate easily.
