I'm guessing heads don't come off to do this job, (i seem to be stupidly(?) thinking that heads need to come off to get the intake manifold off..?

corvettecrazy is on a distinguished road

LIM is 10 N*M or 89 inch pounds

UIM is aslo 10 N*M or 89 inch pounds

dont mess up the UIM torque specs, or you will crack one like I did.

One word of advice...

Be very careful, these are such low numbers you should ensure you don't over torque them. It would be real easy to do.
