Vortec intake question

[Tom B Hargrove]

Can someone tell me the correct sequence for tighting the eight bolts that hold the intake manifold. I believe that they torque to 11 ft. lb.s. , but I can't find the tighting sequence. Thanks, Tom

criss-cross from the inside out. i have done several manifolds that way and no problems yet. did you use the hard plastic gaskets with rubber o-rings built-in?? Brian

Brian, thanks for the reply. I am using felpro gaskets instead of the GM plastic ones. I was thinking either should work. Again, thanks for the answer. Tom
