I installed new plugs today in my ES300. Overall went well. I did take off plenum (and installed new gasket) for better access to rear set

My question is what is the proper torque for the hex bolts and 2 nuts holding the plenum to the intake?
Also, should i recheck the torque in a few days time because i did install a new gasket on the plenum?

Thank you

Should have what you need here.... downloaded all the pdf's from TIS yesterday for my 02 ES300

Excellent - it has the torque spec - thank you - someone may have had them off before and really cranked them down. I had to use my larger breaker bar to loosen them

I checked the files you provided but cannot find 14-7. I am curious if there was a tightening sequence to them - I may be over thinking it...

This is section 14-7... Unfortunately on the toyota tech site you cant download the manual as a whole, just piece by piece, so I have to open each to see the pages. One day I might put them into one manual using acrobat.
