Im replacing rear valve cover gasket and was wondering what is sequence for intake manifold bolts and torque specs.
Found this, so it would be 14-19ft/lbs, am I correct?

Re: Intake manifold bolts
You probably got this done already, but yes 14 - 19 ft-lbs is the recommended torque for the intake manifold. I've never used a torque wrench for those, just made it tight with a 3/8" ratchet drive. As far as order you would start from the middle and work your way out in 2 steps. It should be pretty forgiving of exact torque values since it is a metal gasket and 2 machined metal surfaces that are being fastened.

Re: Intake manifold bolts
Thanks, I haven't installed manifold back on yet, I was waiting for RTV sealant to dry up real good, going to snug up valve cover bolts again and then start reassembly.
