I have two questions I'm hoping you can help me with.

Question 1:

Do I need to use thread lock on any of the fasteners when reassembling the parts following replacement of the timing belt?

Question 2:

Can anyone tell me what the torque specification is for the intake manifold collector mounting bolts (hex head) on a '93 Pathfinder - VG30E engine?

The Chilton manual I have only lists the torque for the intake manifold bolts,
which is a different fastener.

I know when I removed them they were on quite tight which means one or
more of the following:

A). They have a higher torque rate than the intake manifold bolts (12-14
Foot/Pounds - relatively low torque).

B). Thread lock was used.

C). The last person to tighten the bolts applied too much torque.

Thanks as always for your help.

Can anyone help me on this question?

I found a partial answer on another forum (I had to post elsewhere when there was no response to my question) which might help some of you. The URL is as follows:

Unfortunately they don't list specs for the Pathfinder, but it might be useful for those of you driving other Nissan vehicles.
