I don't mean to question you Ghosst but my repair manual showes the following bolt sequence for removal:
2 6 4
1 5 3
Installation is opposite. Torque to 72 - 108 in-lbs (6-9 ft-lbs).
The torque specs are right, 7lb-ft. As for the removal and installation order, I'm not entirely sure (without the picture) but I beleive it's more like...
6_____1_____3
4_____2_____5
(for tightening)
1_____6_____4
3_____5_____2
(for loosening)
Generally, the idea is to seat the manifold, then tighten it down again without putting too much pressure on the edges to avoid marring the surface. I may be home for a day or two next week, if I am, I'll upload the pics then.
