99 Malibu - Intake Manifold Gasket

My husband is in the process of dismantling my daughter's '99 Malibu (3.1 V6 VIN "M") to replace the Intake Manifold Gaskets. He did this many years ago (when he didn't know that he could have had GM foot the bill for it at the time.)

This time we purchased PermaDry Plus FEL-PRO MS98004T to complete this repair.

The bulletin information we have found regarding the torque procedures reference 60 degree engines and 3100 VIN "J" and 3400 VIN "E" model engines.

What we have is VIN "M" but I haven't seen any torque guidelines dealing with VIN "M" instead of "J" or "E."

Can someone point me in the direction of the torque guidelines for the VIN "M" vehicle using the FelPro MS98004T gasket?

Edit: Nevermind ... from what I could gather, the torque guidelines vary depending upon the specific gasket. Once we opened the box, we did find that there was an installation guide for the Felpro gasket that should provide what he needs.

Good luck with your E and M.
