Suggested Repair
Torque the lower intake manifold bolts that attach to the heads to 21 ft-lbs, working from the center outward in three steps, and always install a new intake manifold gasket. Torque the valve covers to 9 ft-lbs. The expert did not provide a numbered sequence or the plenum torque values in text.
Conversation Summary
The owner of a 2013 Honda Odyssey asked for torque specs and sequences for the lower intake manifold, intake plenum, and valve covers. The expert stated the valve covers are 9 ft-lbs, the lower intake bolts attaching to the heads are 21 ft-lbs, and tightening should be done sequentially in three steps from the center outward with a new gasket. A later question about whether the same specs apply to a 2006 Honda Pilot J35A9 was not specifically confirmed.
