Torque specs

[blackacpilot]

I own an 1998 Acura CL 3.0 v6 Premium (j30a1 engine).
I am trying to find the intake manifold torque specs and tightening sequence for this engine.
Trying to find any repair information has been a virtual exercise in futility :angry: .
Also, I suspect I have a vacuum leak somewhere. I want to be certain that I have identified all of the vacuum hoses/lines.
Again, no information or diagrams available.
Any help you can offer would be appreciated. Thanks.

There is a Mitchel1 advertisement I see that comes up with ericthecar.guy based on my internet search cookies that works out great . That being said a Haynes manual works out for torque specs. That is about all they are good for.

I tend to rely on the public library to get my torque specs from the Mitchel manuals as well as the other automotive tec manuals that they house there. If you live in Canada and have a Partsource in the area, you can usually access their “ShopKey” program in their store. I have also gotten torque specs by simply phoning them. Good luck with your search.

I don’t understand why people don’t buy their manufacturer’s service manual. It has torque specs and the correct wiring diagrams and this is just basic to take care of your car.

EBay is your friend

Haynes manual is a must if you are a DIY and especially for torque specs

A few months back I found my factory service manuals in paper format for 30 and on CD for 10. They are great. That being said, I have a 99 and an 06. Don’t know about much newer without forking out a few hundred.

+1 for the Manuals. I can’t tell you how many times my Haynes manual has made life easier while working on my car.
