QUICK Question - Bolt Torque Specs

I have to replace my throttle body gasket tonite. Does anyone know the correct torque specs for those bolts? Thanx,

Brad

I torque mine to 18 - 20ft lbs and have had no problems.

I'm just really leary of striping those bolts as a friend of mine did it on his Tahoe and I remember it being a big major PITA. Thanx for the response....

Here is a site with general torque specs for metric bolts, good reference for future,
