WHICH intake manifold bolts?

The upper is held to the lower on studs with 13mm nuts

The shouldered studs only hold the fuel rail down to the lower
but have E-Torx tips on them (I don't recall what size)

The other bolts have 10mm heads.

Do remember that you can't get the lower intake off of a 4.0 until you
pull the valve covers.

yeah they are the Etorx that i had the question about i took the intake plenum off down to the fuel rail and was a little puzzled on the next step. i believe the gasket between the block and the intake manifold is leaking anitfreeze, i had leakage on the front and it isnt running right and has been idling rough

There is NO need to disturb the fuel rail studs, they have nothing to do with holding the intake manifold to the engine.
