Which one to buy?

[Felix]

Going to change the LIM Gasket on Saturday, was looking at this set https://www.amazon.com/Felpro-MS-98014-Intake-Manifold/dp/B002LWL3XI but one of the reviews says to not do it in cold weather because the bolts will lose torque causing a vacuum leak, and what its looking the highest its going to be here in Wisconsin is 40 degrees. So can anyone link me to a set, made of metal preferred. Thanks!

rockauto, they sell a kit brand name "magnum". make sure its the metal set, comes with all the same stuff for about 42 bucks. im using them now for the last year. work and look the same as delco or felpro.

These the right ones? http://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=5232039&cc=1382521&jnid=553&jpid=4

Also will these lose their torque once it gets warmer? Only reason thats stopping me from buying the felpro ones.

I've never had an issue with torque.

Keep in mind I torque limited bolts to 15ft lbs based on the changes in gasket design and fsm

thats the kit, and ive never heard such tom foolery in my life. bolts dont loose their tq. the bolts tend to leak if you dont seal the tthreads tho.

so dont forget the tread sealant on the lim bolts, or they will leak coolant down the road on ya. if you got pools of coolant covering the bolts now, thats cause the bolts are leaking up the threads.

this stuff works well.
