Default Throttle body torque specs

Hi everyone,

I'm replacing my valve cover gaskets and want to confirm the torque specs for the throttle body top 4 bolts and bottom 2 nuts.

Thanks

Meh, I wouldn't worry about it. I've taken mine off countless times and have never even used a torque wrench on them Better too tight than not. Now if you were torquing lug nuts, thats where I'd use a torque wrench 4 times, and then again for good measure.

You have to drain engine coolant to remove the throttle body? Is it really necessary? I have lost count of how many times I had to remove the throttle body and never drained engine coolant.
