Hi ya"ll, I need torque specs for the upper & lower intake for a 1998 3.8L 3800 V6. I tryed the search box and all i got was "Sorry no matches" regardless of how I frazed it. Thanks for your time.

http://www.grandprixforums.net/f18/l...ecs-23915.html Super charger specs should be the same for your uim. I think.

Also for the lim u need to follow a bolt pattern, if not u break the manifold.

Go from the center out. You will not break it if you do not follow it it just might not seal perfectly.Originally Posted by a98gtp4u

I followed it by how the haynes manual said to. If not it mite not seal properly, as stated above, or it can crack the manifold. Believe me when i say it can happen, ive seen it.

You go from the inside out with the torque spec it will be fine.

Thanks for link jump 01GTP! I knew the torque had to be realy wimpy w/the plastic/rubber gaskets. I just couldn't seem to find them. Thank you again and have a good Christmas Ya'll !!!

I ended up putting a upper plenuim on it, the old one was too ate up around the egr tube to reuse. I figured I got 100k miles out of the old one so for $130 w/gaskets I couldn't go wrong.

I just replaced my UIM yesterday and I paid 130 w/gaskets at advance auto. I also went ahead and replaced the LIM gasket,valve cover gaskets. I also cleaned out the ports on the LIM and cleaned the throttle body up real nice. Made a huge difference in acceleration and driving.
