Question Intake Manifold Bolt Torque Spec

What's the torque spec for the Upper Intake Manifold bolts on a 99 Ranger with a 4cyl.?
Also is there a pattern to follow when tightening these uup?

It's a two step process... first step is 8 FT LB. second step is 28 FT LB.

in each step first tighten the center bolt on the drivers side... then tighten the bolt next to it, closer to the vehicle, then the bold next to the original on the other side, then the bolt closest to the windshield, then the bolt opposite it closest to the radiator, the the bolt on the passenger side closer to the windshield, then the bolt on the passenger side closer to the radiator (PHEW!)

repeat for step 2.

good luck!

I just did my intake gaskets, and torqued them according to a PDF I read. It said 15-18 ft. lbs. I did them to 16 1/2.
