    Torque Question

    Intake Manifold Bolts (First Pass in Sequence) 5 N·m 44 lb in
    Intake Manifold Bolts (Final Pass in Sequence) 10 N·m 89 lb in

    Intake manifold is that big black thing that the tb mounts right? Reason I as is because I swear somewhere I read that it torques to 22 lb in and not 89?

    22 in lb is finger tight. I think you were correct in the 1st part of your post.

    1. Install the intake manifold.
    2. Apply a 5 mm (0.20 inch) band of threadlock GM U.S. P/N 12345382, Canada P/N 10953489, or equivalent to the threads of the intake manifold bolts.
    3. Install the intake manifold bolts.
    4.1.Tighten the intake manifold bolts a first pass in sequence to 5 Nm (44 inch lbs.) .4.2.Tighten the intake manifold bolts a final pass in sequence to 10 Nm (89 inch lbs.) .

    Aaron, This is straight from the manual bro but the thread locker is up to you.
