I have a 2006 LS 2 and are replacing o-rings and installing new ARP fasteners on the intake manifold.What is the torque specs for the bolts and are you using sealant and or blue loctite on the threads?
TIA

Thanks, still looking for if I should use a sealant on the threads or use the (blue) loctite. I read that some time the bolts become loose because of the low torque specs🤔

Installed an MSD intake on my LS2, with no sealant or locktite. Its been over a year. MSD installation instructions didn't call for it.

no sealant, no thread lock

Just be sure it's settled down in the little pockets in the head and tighten them gradually from the center out
