I've used the search settings and also googled this question. Searching this site produced nothing and Google gives more than one answer.
What is the torque wrench setting for the intake manifold nuts? I have seen numbers from 4 (!) to 10 ft lbs. What is the torque setting for the rocker arms? Again, a couple different numbers but 14 ft lbs seems the middle. Any advice here? Thanks Rob |

Value is based on the stud size. Not the nut.

Torque settings for air cooled motors are much lower than their water cooled counterparts because air cooled motors grow when they get hot. So the torque on all the bolts go up as the engine warms. 4ft lbs is probably enough on the intake bolts. They are not structural, and the engineers don't want to crush the gasket when the engine is fully warm. |
