OK, installing the intake manifold refers me to step 14 in the cylinder head installation procedure. when I look at that it says to tighten to 7 ft-lb and nothing further....that doesn't seem nearly tight enough to me..... advise?

That's what the final torque is: 5.8-7.0 ft/lbs
First step: 2.9 ft/lbs
Second step: 6.5 ft/lbs
Final step: 5.8-7.0 ft/lbs
First step: 2.9 ft/lbs

Final step: 5.8-7.0 ft/lbs
The price I paid for over torqueing my Intake Manifold bolts... Ended up putting it back on with vice grips and Locktite.

One thing when you use torque wrenches, the extreme ends are not very accurate.
I have a digital torque wrench adapter, which I can check my torque wrenches with.
A torque measurement that low I would use an inch lb. torque wrench.

I agree. When dealing with torque settings below 14 ft/lbs, I'll use my inch pound torque wrench. Just multiple the number x12. For example, 7 ft/lbs equals 84 in/lbs. Gasket material has a lot to do with the amount of torque.
