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. |

Don't reuse the neoprene gaskets. Use the phenolic (black plastic) spacers with paper gaskets attached. I found these parts amongst the spare parts the previous owner provided. Are they phenolic spacers? Also interesting: the holes on these don't match up to the carbs or manifold, and there are marks where it appears some previous owner tried to install them. The phenolic spacers for the manifold to head is common like on injection. They have a thin gasket attached to both sides. Maybe someone makes a similar gasket for manifold to carb.
