Oil Pressure Sensor Install
I need some info on this since I will be doing it today. I have a nice thread that outlines the install, but I just need a few questions answered so I know which torque wrench to buy.
1. Which socket do I use for the sensor itself?
2. What are the torque specs for the intake bolts?
Thanks for all the help!

Torque specs for the intake bolts are 44 in-lbs for the first pass; then 89 in-lbs for the final pass. There is a proper order to tighten them in as well... begin with the center bolts and work your way to the front/back bolts.
One piece of advice I got from a fellow forum member concerning removal of the intake manifold, was this: Before unbolting it, use compressed air or a rag or whatever you can, to clean the edges first, so that the dirt/gunk built up there doesn't fall into your engine block when the manifold is off!

The sensor requires a 1-1/16" deep socket. I found one at Sears for like $8.
