Two quick questions:

1. Can you confirm that this is done once the intake manifold is out of the car, manifold turned upside down and loosening the small T20 torx screws?

2. After replacing the eight seals/gaskets what is the correct torque for the T20 torx screws? I can't find anything in the Factory Workshop Manual regarding this or replacing the seals.

Thanks!

 

They are small fasteners not much force to remove.
Just used about the same torque as to open.
The manifold is plastic so good & snug will work.
