SM 25 lists the intake bolt torque as 35 Ft Lbs ,that is incorrect .Should be around 12-13 max.

Would think this was caught by mercury and new pages to be glued over the top of incorrect info had been sent to dealers with suspect manuals. Appears the one dodge has was updated with correction(s)

Yeah, found that out after I snapped a bolt. We discussed it, starting post #153...
