Intake Manifold bolts. One time use?
Hello everyone. I spent the weekend removing the intake manifold from my r350 for the infamous runner issue, and am about to reinstall. But saw 'somewhere' that the intake manifold bolts are of the one time use, torque to yield variety. So does anyone know if that's actually accurate? Thanks in advance.

Attached is the WIS procedure for removing and installing the intake manifold for M272 and M273 engines. You hadnt stated your VIN so there could be a variation for your model, but I doubt it. There is nothing in this document that indicates one time use for the manifold's bolts. If they were, it would be stated in here with the procedure for tightening.

Would be much appericated.
Also, would anyone have recommendations on what other service might be good to do when the intake manifold is out? I only have 158k mi on a 2008 R350.
Thanks
