So Cal 89 944

15 lbs. ? Is that right? Had to torque them off. Do they tighten up after a heat cycle? Should I re- torque them after a heat cycle?
Trust you guys more than my Haynes manual.

I just know that it's 15, not sure about re-tightening

15 ft-lbs, no need to retorque. The aluminum caps for the six upper bolts get torqued to 30 ft-lbs.

"The aluminum caps for the six upper bolts get torqued to 30 ft-lbs."

That's what really confused me the most! The caps that hide the bolts get torqued more than the actual bolts that hold the assembly to the head. German engineering.

Thanks yall, Jeff
