Good afternoon.

Attached is the sequence for tightening the bolts and specs.

Roy

Install new lower intake manifold bolts.

The torque specification is a two step process; tighten the vertical lower intake manifold bolts (the four middle ones) to 7 Nm (62 lb in). Tighten the diagonal lower intake manifold bolts (two on each end) to 7 Nm (62 lb in). Tighten the vertical lower intake manifold bolts (the four middle ones) to 13 Nm (115 lb in). Tighten the diagonal lower intake manifold bolts (two on each end) to 25 Nm (18 lb ft).

Upper intake manifold.
Tighten bolt/stud, 25 Nm (18 ft. lbs).
