Problem with intake manifold support bracket on 1991 190E 2.6L engine
Continuing front of engine and head rework on this 1991 car hoping to get
back on the road soon. Head/manifold on block ready to tighten head bolts. I could not find the torque rating for the intake manifold bolts, so just tighten the bolts snug with the 13MM wrench. Moving around the bolt pattern three time to tighten the manifold evenly. In other cars the intake bolts torque is rather low 10ft-lb. The intake manifold support brackets are impossible to bolt unless the head is raised up a fraction of an inch to help with the fit. The brackets seem to be straight and true to form. So if the brackets are first bolted tight the head would not be resting loosely on the block at the start of the head bolts installation. Looks like I should torque the head bolts first and the support brackets bolts left loose and torqued last. I could use some advice on this. I was expecting that the head would rest flat on the block with the support brackets bolted. And this has not been the case on the rebuild. Robert Illan
