Hello, Below is the torque chrat as well as specific head torque info and intake

Lower Intake Manifold Tightening Sequence

NOTICE: Failure to tighten vertical bolts before the diagonal bolts may cause an oil leak.

Apply sealer to the lower intake manifold bolt threads.

Tighten the lower intake manifold bolts in sequence to 7 N.m (62 lb in) on the first pass.
Tighten the lower intake manifold bolts (1, 2, 3, 4) in sequence to 13 N.m (115 lb in) on the final pass.

REVISED CYLINDER HEAD BOLT INSTALLATION
(Vehicles with 3.1L VIN J, or 3.4L VIN E engines only.)

This article has been updated with TSB 02-06-01-003B, 4/15/08
This bulletin is being revised to include a Notice advising that the cylinder head bolts are NOT TO BE RE-USED . Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 02-06-01-003A.

Notice: This component uses torque-to-yield bolts. When servicing this component, do not re-use the bolts. New torque-to-yield bolts must be installed. Re-using used torque-to-yield bolts will not provide proper bolt torque and clamp load. Failure to install NEW torque-to-yield bolts may lead to engine damage.

Tighten the NEW cylinder head bolts to 60 Nm (44 lb ft) in the order shown. Use the J 36660-A torque angle meter in order to rotate the cylinder head bolts an additional 95 degrees .
