Ok in my Chilton's manual it sayd the torque of the intake manifold is 37- 47 ft lbs...is that correct seems little high to me but what do I know..wanted to chk with you guys before I get up to it..
That's about right, but it's almost more important that they be fairly evenly torqued than how much.
Use the recommended sequence and do about 40, but you will also notice intake bolts can't all be torqued anyway. (things in the way of getting on the bolts)
Personally, I just use a box end wrench and use the tightening sequence and get them all good and snug in three tightening steps.
Once they are down snug you can use your torque wrench on some you can get to, and then feel what it takes to tighten it just a hair more with a box end wrench.
Then you can estimate that same feel on all of them with the wrench.
