Technical flathead alum. offy intake tork

does anyone know the tork lbs. on an alum. offy intake?

 

I use a short wrench and just snug them with wrist action. Maybe 12 Ft Lbs. Spray a new gasket on both sides with WD40. Use one drop of anti seize oil on the threads.

Ditto on the never-seez and liberally slather grease on all surfaces.

I don't know the answer for that specific applpication but most factory made new aluminum intakes are in the 15-18 ft lbs range.
