Changing intake manifold gaskets, Any tips?

Need to stop worrying and just do it
Got some information on installing it on web
But a clear bolt tightening sequence diagram would
be nice. Any tips or helpful hints or shortcuts to make this go smoothly. Thanks 1997 flareside supercab 76000 miles 4.2

Went out and gave a hard look at what needed to be done.
Looks like it would be easier if the upper part is pulled first.
.Ordered an cd manual on ebay said it was a ford manual on cd for $1.99 WOW but we will see when we get it if it is.Please big green ford make it thru another week. 70000miles now Maybe I will take pictures and post them my web site with some detailed instruction.

Still,I forgot all about this.When I first got my 97,the trans had a slight shudder to it.I read online about tightening the valve body bolts,but no one had a bolt schamatic.So,I went to my local Ford dealer and asked if they could give me the sequence.They did better then that;they let me look thru the same books they actually use day to day.And let me use there copier to print it.So,you might want to do as I did;ask the service techs to look at there books.What can they say, no?I think not.
