2000 3.8 Lower intake manifold (manifold to cylinder head) 1st step is 44 inch pounds, 2nd step is 89 inch pounds. This must be done in sequence.
The torque specification for the intake manifold bolts on a 2000 Mercury Grand Marquis is typically around 11-15 ft-lbs (15-20 Nm). It's important to follow a specific tightening sequence, usually starting from the center and working outward, to ensure even pressure. Always refer to a repair manual for your specific vehicle for the most accurate information.
Here is a link that shows how to replace the intake manifold gasket. Bolt locations and torque settings. Hope this helps.
Correct torque on 2000 model : 18 Ft. lbs.- upper intake manifold [ plenum ].
There is no set torque sequence. Usually, starting with the bolt at the 12 o'clock position, then move to the 6 o'clock, then 3, then 9. Then move to 1, 7, 4, 10, and continue in a clockwise manner until 12 o'clock is reached again. The torque amount for a Silverado is 44 inch pounds on first torque, and?æ89 inch pounds the second time.

The upper intake gaskets on a 2000 Ford Windstar V6 engine are located between the upper intake manifold and the lower intake manifold. To access them, you typically need to remove the upper intake manifold, which involves disconnecting various components like the throttle body, vacuum lines, and electrical connectors. Once the upper manifold is removed, you can replace the gaskets. It's advisable to follow a repair manual for specific steps and torque specifications.
I have a 2000 Malibu, I can help you out if you can give me some more info...where on the intake manifold are you referring to?
Assuming this is a 4.3L engine, the upper intake manifold gasket would be between the upper intake manifold and the lower intake manifold.
Here is the installation instructions for the Edelbrock Performer aluminum intake manifold for a Ford 351M/400...hope it helps out. http://www.edelbrock.com/automotive_new/misc/tech_center/install/2000/2171.pdf
on top of the motor
the intake manifold is located on top of the engine, the piece that look like the tubbing is intertwining.
