I know, check the stickies for Volvo Penta - service manual. If it is the link to the VP website for manuals that's all well and good except I am having trouble finding a serial number match. So instead I have spent a good hour reviewing all the prior threads concerning manifold and riser torque. At any rate, the manifolds are new aftermarket (don't know from where, I didn't buy them) and the risers I believe are stock. New bolts are used with the manifold and originals reused with risers. New gaskets made of some thin metal / foil material are now in place.
Now for the torque, I've read 15lbs, 30lbs followed by 120 degree turn. I have also read 12-18 lbs and 20-26 libs. as well as others (see attached). I have also read to do this once cold and again when intakes are warm. And I bet you are going to tell me the torque differs between new and used bolts and the type of medal. Still, any advise is valuable.
And now for the newbe duh question, The Seloc VP Stern Drive book - I just learned of it - is this something every DIYer should have? As in, if I had the book I wouldn't be needing to ask such a question?
BTW-#8 on the sticky post for VP, it is not broken.
