Default Torquing bolts
After putting the plenum back on, do I need to make sure the torx bits are at a specific torque on the runners?

Every bolt has a correct torque, so the technical answer is yes. However, you are only sealing air, so snug and even are usually good enough.

I believe I set mine at 25ft/lbs since both pieces are aluminum.

Either way is fine, but on stuff with old threads Im with Pete. Get them to snug, or just a touch past depending on how strong the thread feels and leave it.

The 85 specs out at 17. I settle for 20 with a dab of anti-sieze.
