I belive the final torque spec is 11 ft pounds. I normaly just tighting them down to 15 ft pounds because that's as low as my strap-on torque wrench goes.. I've done at least 100 intake gasket jobs with no issues with increasing the final torque to 15 ft pounds.

Start in the center and make circles outward tightening the front and rear last, then recheck tourque in any order
9 5 1 4 8 10 6 2 3 7.

is there any chance of cracking those plastic intake gaskets if i over torqued them just a bit? Car only ran about 20 min, but I'm guessing I'll have to buy new gaskets anyway

ok for anybody interested I found the problem. It's what people call the stove pipe issue. The egr tube melted a hole in the upper intake and caused antifreeze to leak into the intake and down the cylinders. I seen something suspicious in the egr port so I covered one coolant port and blew threw the other and sure enough I got air coming out of the side of the egr port. Hope this helps somebody.
