Hi:
I just replaced the manifolds and risers on my 350 mercruiser. I torqued them at 30 ft/lbs by mistake. The service manual I have says 20 ft/lbs for the manifolds and didn't specify the risers
Should I:
A. Back them off and re-torque at 20, or
B. Not worry about it?
If I do back them off I'm afraid the gaskets won't re-seal propery but replacing gaskets is cheaper than wrecking my new manifolds.
Thanks in advance for your help.
