I want to remove and replace my Dellortos and the instructions are to torque to [EDITED] 13 inch-lbs. Most of you know what that feels like intuitively, but I'm a newbie and don't want to screw up my new toy.
I don't yet own a torque wrench -- don't think I've even used one before. I'm wondering which one I should buy for this and future 914 stuff. E.g. my valve covers are converted to bolt on. |

Those are manifold to 2.0L head gaskets. Insulates engine heat from the manifolds. I just use paper gaskets under the carbs. Did the original owner try to modify them to fit under the carbs?
