According to All Data the Lower Intake Manifold to Cylinder Head Bolts are Torqued to 11 Ft Lbs. Use thread lock compound "lock Tight" on the bolts to ensure they remain tight. On the Upper Pleneum bolts Apply thread lock to the bolts and torque to 89 In Lbs. Foot Pounds on the Lower and Inch Pounds on the Upper. Always use a tap or thread chaser on all bolt passages and bolt threads before attempting re installation. There is a torque sequence to follow on the upper and lower, be sure you get that to install the intakes evenly. Also it is best to tighten the fasteners in 2 or 3 steps to ensure an even installation.
Ineed the torque sequence and tightening specs for a 92 GM 3800 intake.
I'm pretty sure this is that same 3800 motor that gm uses in my mom's 2001 buick Le Sabre. Her intake was the fiberglass resin plastic and the torque specs are 89 INCH pounds. Make sure you use the right tightening sequence too. 89 inch pounds is for the upper intake or Plenum. 136 inch pounds is the torque specs for the lower intake
Head torque sequence for a 2002 3800
Need more info. Torque specs. for what?
replace the water heater inlet pipe on the intake manifold on a 3800
Ignore the specs. Work inside to out, tightening a little at a time. Should take you 6 or 7 runs through. Make them tight, but dont force them. I tightened to specs and had horrible leaks. With this method, perfect.
horsepower : 200@ 5200 rpm torque : 225@ 4000 rpm
Several manufacturers built 3800. Without that information no answer can be given
You will need a intake manifold set and possibly a plenum gasket set.
If it is a gm 3800 you need to replace the upper intake. It has a crack in it.
What was the situation with DexCool and the Chevrolet 3800 series II engine and how do i get the replacement intake manifold from Auto-zone and what is the part #
