The upper intake manifold is torqued to 12-18ft/lbs

No more than 10-12 ft-lbs are necessary to seal it; and the lower casting as well as the ears on the upper are not very strong pieces. People regularly break the ears and occasionally break the lowers. I wouldn't take it anywhere near 18 ft-lbs.

Here is where I got those specs from. When you look in you chiltons book again, you will see the same torque specs I just told you.
