Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros.

Here are the specs. Picture 1 shows tightening sequence.

Tighten in the sequence shown to .................... 10 Nm (89 lb-in).

Don't know if you need it, but here is the info for the upper intake. Picture 2 shows sequence. Note that once they are torqued to spec, they need an additional 45 degrees turn.



Upper Intake Manifold

Using a new gasket, install the upper intake manifold and the 7 bolts.
Tighten in the sequence shown in 2 stages.

Stage 1: Tighten to .................... 10 Nm (89 lb-in).

Stage 2: Tighten .................... an additional 45 degrees.


Let me know if this is what you needed. If you have other questions, let me know.

Take care,
Joe
