Yep, torqued it to 108 inch pound, they compress quite good.

The first thing prior to any work , I compile a list of all the torque values of all fasteners then proceed, I hate nothing more than to finish a job and have something leak and have to end up tearing it all apart again for a simple loose bolt...... I may put it back together in the wrong order but damn those bolts are tight. Lmfao
