I don't have any reference material at hand to look up the torque values, but
the sequence
is from inside to outside, starting in the center and working outwards
alternating to the
left and right of center; the torque values should be stepped up, also, taking
it in 2,
maybe 3, steps depending upon the final value.
This is a general rule for securing a manifold, or any component that secured
by threaded
fasteners in a generally rectangular pattern, especially a component which must
seal
against its mating part. Working inside to outside, alternately left and right,
and
stepping up the torque will prevent distortion. A cylinder head is another
example of a
component which should be torqued up in this fashion.
