[QUOTE="Duster, post: 445786, member: 20812"] The pattern depends on the engine type. With a V-6 you start the four bolts closest to the middle middle of the head, tightening in an "x" pattern (e.g. near right, far left, near left, far right) then repeat with the outer four. I would do that in two or three repeat stages to be sure there's no distortion as you bring the bolts to torque. You can find instructions and basic information on removing and installing the intake head and exhaust manifold(s) in Chiltons or Haynes (Wrangler 1987 - 2017). The FSM will be more complete, but way more expensive. There was a link to a copy on JKOwners, but that link doesn't work any longer. There is this also: [URL]https://www.onlymanuals.com/jeep/wrangler[/URL]. You'll have to search the year. The site isn't really well organized, and prices are in Euros. [/QUOTE]
