.......and put a fat bead is it ok if it runs over the edges?
I've never done it, but I've read that you need to be careful with the amount you use because you don't want to get it inside the engine.
what order should i tighten the bolts down in? and i dont have a torque wrench so im doing it by thought.
Get a torque wrench........ not sure if a parts store would loan you one or not.
Lower intake:
The first pass is only 27 inch pounds. the second pass is 106 inch pounds, and the 3rd is 11 foot pounds.
The pattern is 7,1,3,5 on the passenger side
8,4,2,6 on the driver's side
Upper intake:
first pass is 44 inch pounds
Second pass is 89 inch pounds
I didn't see a pattern for the upper.
Edit: the autozone gut told me to black rvt the shaft and threads of the intake bolts to not let antifreeze come out through them.
NO....... use locktite blue (242, It think it is) Make sure the bolts and holes are clean.
Your also supposed to use locktite on the evap purge solenoid studs, the fuel pipe bolt, and throttle body studs.
