A word of advice first: make sure you use a Felpro gasket and o ring set and RTV sealant or you'll end up doing this again soon. Trust me!

An oil leak may result if the vertical bolts are not tightened before the diagonal bolts so follow this sequence EXACTLY.

Lower Intake bolt tightening schedule:

a.) Tighten the vertical lower intake manifold bolts (4 inner bolts) to 7 N-m or 62 lb in
b.) Tighten the diagonal lower intake manifold bolts (4 outer bolts) to 7 N-m or 62 lb in
c.) Tighten the vertical lower intake manifold bolts (2nd round) to 13 N-m or 115 lb in
d.) Tighten the diagonal lower intake manifold bolts (2nd round) to 13 N-m or 115 lb in
