I have a 2 questions.

1) What is the torque spec for the intake manifold?
2) Do I use the "red" sealer on the gaskets or no sealer.

I have seen several different specs for the intake manifold torque, trying to get the exact torque, don't won't to do it twice.

The gasket set that I have is Fel-pro MS-94066. Looks like it has a blue bead on both sides of the gasket, I suppose a silcone bead.

Thanks,

David

If the manifold has a space between front and back at what is called the china wall put silicone there. And studs only use red Loctite otherwise use blue locktite if you must. Tighten to 88 inch pounds or 10 Nm in sequence in pic.
