Leaking manifold installation
We attempted to install new manifold on OMC 3.0 L (1989), torque down to 25 FT. lbs., on main bolts ( 4 center), but sucker leaks. Any particular sequence for tightening? Hubby can not get torque wrench on rear bolt so quesstimated torque. Are we missing something ? Leaks are not bad, but none are acceptable. Slight amount of water pools on top of manifold.
