Yeah, I hope everything worked out with the gaskets. This topic got a little off the subject, hehehe, just a tad.
I'll be over on SE sometime tonight to say what I've got to say. It won't be anthing bad, promise.

Well I actually haven't put the intake manifold back on yet. This is kind of amusing sifting through all this. There are some good ideas to seal it up good.
Does anyone know how to keep the gaskets in place when you put the manifold on?
Also the shop manual says to over tighten the intake manifold bolts down first to seat the manifold then back the bolts off to the correct torque spec. Should I do this?

I agree. I've heard that tack stuff is pretty good to hold the gaskets in place. I know when I replaced mine they were a royal pain to stay put.
I haven't ever heard of over-torquing either. I agree with Morley.

What manual says to over torque it? Thats VERY ODD. For one, the gasket seals by being compressed to fit irregularites of the mating surface. Once the gasket is compressed, it won't "bounce back", it stays compressed. A gasket that has been torqued down and then eased up on should go in the trash. Not to mention overtorqueing could result in broken bolts, cracked intakes and pulled threads Just torque to specs in the proper sequence, then go over once more. You will start in the center bolts and then work your way outward. By the time you get done w/ the outside bolts, it will pull the manifold down furter and the center bolts will feel loose, but its not the same as backing them off.
