. . Installing Injectors. .

. . Well got the injectors in and the valves adjusted. . Last thing is to torque the injector hold down bolts before the fun with the valve cover. . Could see that two of the copper washers had been leaking. .
. . When checking to find the injector hold down bolt torque I came up with 5 different torques. . From 60 in. lbs. up to 89 in. lbs. . One video actually said 44 ft. lbs. . I know that was wrong but even if he meant in. lbs. it would still be wrong. .
. . So, , What is the correct torque for the injector hold down bolt? ?

From the 01 FSM, looks like 89Lb/In is the winner, see below.
