Upper to lower are only 10-12. Right? I can't see the torque specs being so great for the upper to lower manifold. Couldn't you bust the feet off the manifold if you're using 18-22? Joe

I never tq my uppers, I just use common sense when tightening them. 10-12 ft/lbs seems right though. I do use 22 on my lowers going over the sequence a few times gradually going to 22.
