Yes the UIM bolts and the throttle body nuts are torqued to 89 inch lbs. Just spotted a typo in Step 10 of the UIM Removal & Installation procedure: 10. Install new gaskets to the cylinder heads and new seals to the engine block. Carefully lower the manifold into place. Make sure to install the two hidden bolts in the lower intake manifold. Hand start all bolts, then torque evenly to 89 inch lbs. (10 Nm). Follow the torque sequence, starting in the center, then working outwards in a circle. Kind of hard to install new gaskets to the cylinder heads and new seals to the engine block, without removing the LIM first...
