    im back on my eternal timing belt replacment...but at least im starting to button things up now.

    On the the thermo-housing...after I apply FIPG..do i torque the bolts down to spec or just snug while it sets and torque later?

    But only install the part after observing the set time on the FIPG for best result. Toyota FIPG for valve covers for example, it has a 5-10 minute set window shown in the instructions.

    Thanks..I waited about 4-5 minutes. It looks good. pretty uniform as far as the slight amount of squeeze out.
