Upper Intake Manifold Torque and Sequence
Upper Intake Manifold Stud:First Pass 5 Nm (44 inch lbs.)
Final Pass 9 Nm (80 inch lbs.)
AllData Editor NOTE: Other than the two torque passes listed above, the OE Manufacturer did NOT address or supply a bolt tightening sequence for the upper Intake Manifold for this model year, or other model years where this 2 piece manifold setup is used.
A "Play It Safe" final tightening sequence would be to tighten from the center most bolts to the outer most bolts.
