3200GT intake manifold tightening torque

[Campoverde77]

Hi,

Can’t find an advice in the workshop manual on:

• Tightening torque, nor;
• In which order;

the bolts of the intake manifold from a 3200 should be mounted.
I’ve mounted and disassembled mine several times. Everytime I do my best not to overtighten. But when I’m disassembling it I’m always surprised about the tightness of them.

In the past I would have used cupper slip on the bolts but nowadays it’s advised not to use that on aluminum.
Have worked with ceramic grease as well but was rather dissapointed with it because it dried out very soon.

So any advice, from guideline or practical experience, on torque, order or other tricks is very welcome.

Its not listed but even pressure and just tighten by feel. Its in to the ali so I would say hold the ratchet at the head (minimum leverage) and just tighten evenly.
