Chevrolet Repair: Chevy intake and heater hose, chevy silverado, torque specs


Question
I have a 93 chevy silverado with a 5.7 engine. I need to know the torque on the intake bolts. I also need to know if there is anything I special I need to know about removing the heater hose at the rear of the intake? It has some type of press lock looking fitting that threads into the intake. Thanks, Ed

Answer
Hey,

 I can't remember the torque specs and I am not at work today.  If you still want them msg me on monday.  The quick connect in the manifold is just like a gm fuel line only bigger.  Press the two outer tabs in and twist the line a bit while you are removing it.  It has the clip and an oring inside.  Use caution when replacing the nipple because they rot internally and will even break when you touch them.
