#54154, "Torque'ing Manifold Bolts"


          

How did you guys torque the exhaust manifold studs/nuts? I have a torque wrench but there is no way its gonna fit into the hard to reach spaced like the bottom bolts? or did you guys just tighten it by feel? thanks

Tightened by hand. Get them tight but don't go overboard and strip the head.

Be careful with the red thread lock. It is meant for studs and bearings. I put a bunch of the red stuff on my downpipe to turbo bolts. You know, the big-ass, 17mm, grade 10.9 ones. The extreme heat must have done something, because it fused the bolts into the turbo. The heads just sheared off when I tried to remove them (with a breaker bar). I had to get them drilled out. To keep my manifold tight against the head, I installed studs and use a jam-nut in addition to the normal nut.
