I have found alot of info on replacing those lower intake gaskets, but I haven't found any torque specs. Does anyone know how tight these bolts should be?

According to The Book, they tighten in 3 sequences:
First pass is 27 lbs. inch (not lbs. foot like a regular torque wrench, obtain an inch/lbs. torque wrench).
Second pass is 106 lbs. inch
Third pass is 11 lbs. ft.(now use yer regular torque wrench).

Hi Blazer Gang, just passin' through. :)
