Torque Specs for the inlet carb manifold / carb

Does anyone have the correct N.m torque setting for this please as I don't want to over tighten them, Also does it matter which side faces up on the paper gasket (as in shiny side to engine etc)

Many Thanks

DD

Re: Torque Specs for the inlet carb manifold / carb

Ive been into pits now for a fair few years and ive never used a torque wrench. Just nip them up enough so they dont come loose. Use some thread lock aswell.
The gasket goes either way. Personally i dont use them. I use instant gasket.

Cheers Adam.

What is the best instant gasket out there ill give this a go when I next have it all off for a clean etc

Is the gasket hard to clean off?
