Does anyone know the tightening sequence for the intake manifold bolts on the gl1500? Maybe there is not a specific sequence and if thats the case, how would you do it?
The manifold-to-head bolts are 6x35mm flange bolts with 10mm heads. Would 12 nm (9 ft-lb) be the right torque value here?
I also need to clean both surfaces were the manifolds meets the engine block. What product and tool(s) would be convinient?
Thank you!

Looks like 3.6 ft/lbs in no particular sequence.

Re: Intake manifolds torque sequence etc.
Thank you DenverWinger. I might be wrong but to me those torque specs is refering to the screws attached on the carburetor insolator?
Re: Intake manifolds torque sequence etc.
Any past experience of working with the intake manifolds would be very helpful. Anyone?
How about a tightening sequence like this:

Looks reasonable to me....
