What 5mm ball head socket did you all use?! I bought a kobalt one at Lowe’s and it won’t turn a couple of them. Thanks!

I got mine at harbor freight. It is a little scary because they flex a good amount when torquing but it got the job done.

These are what I used.

I had a harbor freight torque wrench and it didn't work. Make sure you don't over torque those bolts as they can't take more than 7 to 9 ftlbs. I ended up having to drill and extract a bolt on my Kenne Bell.

Think the instructions say 13 then 17 ft lbs.....

The lower manifold to engine bolts are 88 & 106 in-lb (7.3 & 8.8 ft-lb).

13 & 17 ft-lb is for the bolts attaching the head unit to the manifold. You are both potentially correct depending on which the OP is referring to.

Agreed. Now when do the upper to the lower, where the purge valve goes, I used longer bolts to go with the bracket as I almost had an issue. The one bolt took the top thread out, but I caught it just in time.
