I have 1998 3.8, and can't find torque specs. Anywhere. I need torque sequence and specs. All info I find are for the wrong intake. Need lower and upper intake, torque info.

Haynes book from Pep Boys/Autozone, etc has the specs and sequence. So does Google. Make sure you put a light coat of oil on the threads of those skinny little intake bolts. That metal bolt going into an aluminum head will sometimes bind causing stripped threads in the head or snapping the bolt. I've rebuilt 4 of the 3.8 motors and I found that out the hard way. . . twice.
