LIM torque

[traingeek087]

So today I was installing my LIM after i did a gasket change and i read in a post that the vertical bolts are around 5ftlbs, and the angled bolts are around 9.5ftlbs.

I then read in a different post that they were 9.8ftlbs and 18ftlbs....I already have installed this several hours ago and it is dry. I went by the first specs. Can anyone tell me what the correct specs are?

Correction

Install a new design intake manifold gasket. The material used in the gasket has been changed in order to improve the sealing qualities of the gasket. When replacing the gasket, the intake manifold bolts must also be replaced and torqued to a revised specification. The new bolts will come with a pre-applied threadlocker on them.

Notice

An oil leak may result if the vertical bolts are not tightened before the diagonal bolts.

Diagonal bolts may require a crows foot to tighten.

Tighten

1. Tighten the vertical lower intake manifold bolts (1) to 7N·m (62 lb in).
2. Tighten the diagonal lower intake manifold bolts (2) to 7N·m(62 lb in).
3. Tighten the vertical lower intake manifold bolts (1) to 13N·m(115 lb in).
4. Tighten the diagonal lower intake manifold bolts (2) to 25N·m(18 lb ft).

Thanks for the help, I had someone else tell me about an update on these a while back.
