Exhaust manifold torque specs

[GHammerly]

I'm planing to remove the whole exhaust system to take a look and see if it can be cleaned off a little for better flow, and to paint it.
Any one here know the torque spec for the exhaust manifold nuts?

...I'll say go with AC-4313-1A for standard torque specs for specific thread size..and if nobody has the value then German torque will probably do it...GoodNtight...

Yeah, if no one comes up with info from a smart manual that's the back up plan.
I think it would be useful for the site to have a fairly comprehensive torque spec sticky. I'm not afraid to tear stuff apart but for some things such as cyl. head bolts, crank/cam journal and piston rod caps, etc. it may be critical to have the specific information from the manufacturer.

...now ...you're getting into torque specific/required/mandatory stuff there..
...for the other ....German will do..

You will be happy when you do this.

clean up the manifold right where it hits the head. that spot is rough.
I noticed an improvement right away.

Be Careful when you remove the bolts, 2 of mine came out with the studs too. Also, be careful when you re-install it. make all the bolts finger tight, then tighten the bolts on the manifold to the head so that surface sits really nice. then tighten all the supports from there out.

I was wondering if this would be worth the effort. Looks like it's time to get out the Dremel.

Gaskets reusable?
