I normally put a small amount ouf silicone sealer on the intake gaskets before I put them on the heads so as to keep them in place when I lower the manifold down. These instructions will work on any v-8 or v-configured motor (6,4,etc.) Install all bolts finger tight. Count bolts on one side only! If even, number like even description. same if odd. Using torque wrench, tighten 1,1-2,2-3,3-4,4-etc.Go back over at same setting, increase setting and repeat 1,1-2,2-3,3-------- First setting should be around 15 ft-lbs second should be about 25 ft- lbs. The objective is to have EVEN pressure all the way around the manifold so the gaskets can do their job off sealing. Hope this helps. If not , 210 635 7197 Nick P.S. Always call the dealership and get recommended torque settings.. Even number Odd number 5 6 7 6 3 4 5 4 2 1 3 2 1 2 1 1 4 3 2 3 6 5 4 5 6 7 The last time I posted this, the illustration with the bolt numbers got messed up so I am trying to edit it again. If it is still messed up, call me and I will try to talk you through it.. Sorry bout that!!
There is 2 of them and thay are under the intake manifold. You will have to remove intake manifold to get to them.
Intake Manifold (Cast Iron Heads) Non- Hardening Sealer 30 ft-lbs.
Should be written on intake manifold.
on the intake manifold front of motor on top
It is on the intake manifold near the thermostat housing.
It is on the back of the intake manifold.
On a cast iron intake the torque is 30 lb/ft.
it should say on the top of the intake manifold all Chevrolet v8s are 18436572 sorry, i don't know the v6
