LIM Bolt torque?

[seanzyyy]

I am working on a 95 3100 from a monte carlo. I just replaced intake manifold gaskets, and used the torque specs listed on this site at the left of 15 then 22 ft lbs in sequence. Now however I noticed in my haynes manual that it lists something like 115 in-lbs on the 4 center bolts, then 18 ft-lbs on the corner bolts. Which method is correct? I did them all to 22, this something I need to go back and redo?

last time I did one on that same car I did the 22ft-lbs and it worked out fantastic

here are the torque specs

The torque specification is a 2-step process; tighten the vertical lower intake manifold bolts (the four middle ones) to 7 Nm (62 lb in).

Tighten the diagonal lower intake manifold bolts (two on each end) to 7 Nm (62 lb in).

Tighten the vertical lower intake manifold bolts (the four middle ones) to 13 Nm (115 lb in).

Tighten the diagonal lower intake manifold bolts (two on each end) to 25 Nm (18 lb ft).

Yes I did them in the proper sequence and everything, just ended up doing the 4 vertical bolts to 22 ft-lbs as well as the corner ones. Hopefully this isn't a problem.

The mechanic I am suing stripped one of the corner ones into the head causing the gasket to fail and engine to blow soon thereafter. Be careful with those bolts.
