I recently went through and changed the gaskets on the risers and elbows on my 350 Mag MPI.
The short of the long is that I am unable to get my torque wrench to the bolts connecting the riser to the manifold (elbow to riser - no problem). So, she's just on there by "feel" right now, and that doesn't really give me the warm and fuzzy feeling, ya know??
Is there a trick to getting a torque wrench in there? The issue is height clearance on the actual riser, not room around the engine. I already tried a swivel extension, and I can't get that in there either.
Thoughts?? Can I just let it be and snug it up after a couple uses?? Is this something I should run up to my dealer and beg their mercy to do it for me real quick??
Just wondering if anyone else has ever find a trick for this.
