I just put the new gasket between the top and bottom halves with silicone so it don't leak.

It has six short alan head bolts with washers that hold the two halves together. Three in the front and three in the back. I need to know how much Inch lbs I need to torque them to so it wont leak but wont crack or break the manifold and ruin it.

I have the torque specs on the other 10 longer bolts that bolt it to the motor. I found it says first round is 45 in lbs then second round 89 in lbs. I have the order to do these in as well.

I just need to make sure what tq setting the other six need to be.

If they are the bolt Im thinking your talking about they torque the same as the exterior bolts, they are the same thread and pitch.

I was thinking so but wanted to make sure. 89 in lb seems like a lot, hope it don't crack.

Do they use the same allen wrench? are they the same thread and pitch? Torque spec is based on the bolt.

OK, they have the EXACT same torque specs as the outter bolts then. You can even look at the new LSXR instructions. The same shorter bolts that hold the manifold together have the same torque spec.
