I am ready to assemble my intake manifold and I see the Torque spec is 96-106 in/lbs and I converted to 8.8 foot lbs. Any tips on torqueing this outside of following the order of tightening?

I think I am just going to get a inch/lbs torque wrench.

 

If your talking about torqueing sequence, then you should follow it. Torque wrenches are always handy to have.
