Re: [DML] Exhaust manifold torque figures

Tom,
Did you have the manifolds checked to make sure they aren't warped?

I have two different books. Last night I looked through the one with PJ 
Grady page at the beginning. The other one has black plastic covers. I'll 
check that one today to see if there's any info there. I thought that they 
are all the same... I wonder where the differences came from.
Anyway, I got the studs out a long time ago. They came out surprisingly 
easy. No snapping, no brute force, no vice grips. I soaked them overnight 
and they just unscrewed no problem. I'm now in the process of reassembly and 
want to make sure I do it right. I covered the threads with anti seize, got 
new gaskets and now I'm ready to torque the nuts. If I don't tighten them 
enough I will blow the new gaskets out. If I over do it I risk snapping the 
studs. 7mm is not a whole lot of material and they are easy to break.

Take care,

Greetings from Poland!
