I'm going to be doing my sparkplugs and in order to access the passenger side plugs we need to take off the intake. I have torque specs for the intake bolts (90 inch lbs) but I haven't found torque specs for the cross member that attaches to the shock towers. Does anyone have these, or know where I can find them?

I have come across items where the previous guy tightens till stripped then back off 1/4 turn. Seems to work for them.
 


















Torque on something like that is not super-critical, just tighten to what feels right for the fastener size, then check it again in ~100 miles considering that is so easy to do in this case.
