Snug ..... just. As noted.

On the rubber gaskets, I like to replace the "normal" washers with the triangular intake/exhaust manifolds ones, to spread the load out a bit better. I get less "bowling" at the holes (due to the thicker & softer gasket) that way.

I use a nut driver to tighten the bolts to a firm snug.
