Yu have to kind of roll the intake into the valley making sure not to unseat the "O" rings. I then slide it around a little to smear the silicone and line up the bolt holes. Insert the bolts, snug them up and then torque them in a rotational pattern. I leave the ignition wires and injectors out and out of my way, it is easy enough to install them after installing the intake manifold. On a motor I recently did I had a vacuum leak at one of the "O" rings. I attribute it to the fact that I did not slide the intake around that time. It must not have competely sealed causing the vacuum leak. It drove me nuts till I found it and I did not like having to remove everything to fix it! I don't think you are going to warp the intake. The Workshop Manual has the torque. To look for vacuum leaks I use a propane bottle with a short hose. Get the ones that are used for soldering pipes and take the nozzle off. Slip a short hose over the end. Now when you put the hose near the suspected leak open the valve for a moment. If the engine speed changes you are near it. You must be VERY careful. A stray spark from bad ignition wires will run your day.
