Hey guys, I can't find my manual ANYWHERE!

I have to install an intake manifold.

Block is a '79 140 v4, intake manifold is a '97 90. Both are crossflows 90 degrees.

I was told to install the gasket dry, but there is sealer on both old gaskets. Do I need sealer and if so, is Evinrude gasket sealing compound good enough?

Also, does anyone have the torque specs? The bolts are 3/8" head and were not very tight.

Thanks!

You have to be very carefull with sealer.-----There are holes ( very important holes ) that might be blocked with a sealer !!----Those 1/4-20NC screws torque to 80 INCH LBS
