See the PDF on the TSB http://ww2.justanswer.com/uploads/MCVGreg/2009-01-08_062112_2003-Century-Intake-Gasket-TSB.pdf. I believe the uppers are not that critical and can be tightened the usual inside-out, diagnonal pattern to no higher than 18 ft-lb (try 15 ft-lb). If you crank it down, you may crack something.
