A service manual is needed especially for tightening the intake manifold bolts back into place in the correct pattern. There are many steps, starting with releasing the pressure in the fuel system and disconnecting the battery. Then you need to remove the throttle body, fuel lines, electrical connections, etcetera to get to the intake manifold. Once the manifold is removed you will be looking into the lifter valley of the motor, make sure to vacuum out any residue and stuff with rags to scrape any old gasket surface off, but do not scratch anything up. The manual will help you determine where to run your sillicone, and when you put the manifold back into place you'll want to hit it dead on to avoid having to move it around. You'll then tighten the bolts on in the pattern indicated to the torque needed. You will need an inch lb. torque wrench. When you get it all back together it's good to leave the key in the on position to get some fuel back in there before you fire er up.
