Here are the the torque specs for the upper and lower intake manifold.

Install the remaining intake manifold bolts and studs.Tighten the upper intake manifold bolts in two steps.

a. Tighten the bolts to 5 Nm (44 inch lbs.).
b. Final tighten the bolts to 10 Nm (89 inch lbs.).

Here are the lower bolt torque and sequence.

Use the tightening sequence shown in order to tighten the bolts in three steps:

a. Tighten the bolts in the first pass to 3 Nm (27 inch lbs.).
b. Tighten the bolts in the second pass to 12 Nm (106 inch lbs.).
c. Tighten the bolts in the final pass to 15 Nm (11 ft. lbs.).
