APN , DORMAN , MOTORMITE replacement upper intake ( UIM)
Another question - What are the torque specifications for the new style GM alumimun frame LIM ( lower intake manifold ) gaskets 3.8 L36 ?
- Thanks
Edit - I found some more info on the procedure at with some diagrams from GM --

11 ft-lb in proper sequence. Someone will have an illustration of the sequence which is typically starting from the center of the piece, alternating sides, working out to the ends. Best to work up to the spec in two or three passes. Use blue loctite on the cleaned bolt threads.

, but depending on the application, most TTY bolts can be re-used. For critical applications like head gaskets, I almost always buy new bolts. But the last Lexus cylinder head I did I re-used the TTY bolts because the factory service manual permitted it. Don't sue me when your water pump falls off, but I have never bought new bolts for a water pump.
I don't know where that table Archon posted came from, but I checked my FSM and there is no indication the bolts for the Water Pump are TTY. It does have two sets of bolts that have different torque ratings.
