Default LS6 intake bolt TQ and sequence

My factory service manual is out on loan to a friend and I need a quick refresher since my intake is off right now. What are the torque specs for the intake bolts and what is the tightening sequence for them?? Trying to wrap this up before lunch...LOL

Thanks in advance!

The first pass, tighten to 44 INCH-lbs, then, on the 2nd pass torque them to 89 INCH-lbs. NOTE: These are inch pounds, NOT foot pounds!.

Also, be SURE the threads (and those in the heads) are clean and not still clogged with old thread sealer/dirt/corrosion. Use a small amout of anti-seize compound on the threads too.

I use this converter to convert inch pounds into foot pounds and 44 inch pounds came out to 3.6 foot pounds For the first pass.

I use this converter to convert inch pounds into foot pounds and 89 inch pounds came out to 7.4 foot pounds For the Second pass.
