Careful - these are easy to break.

No need for more than 18-20 ft-lbs. on the lower intake to the heads. No more than 12 ft-lbs. on the upper intake to the lower intake.

EDIT -- re-reading the original post, I see the question is confusing. Not sure what you're actually asking for. The lower bolts to the heads; the upper bolts to the lower.
