From the manual, "torque the six bolts and the two nuts to"
475 kg-cm ,34ftlb, or 47 N.m

BUT, when fitting the manifold, it is prudent to put a straightedge across it, at a number of points, to check for flatness. They do distort and any major distortion has to be filed flat to avoid cracking when the bolts are pulled down
