| Post subject: | Dumb manifold installation question |
I am getting ready to reinstall the intake and exhaust manifolds on my car. My question is, do I torque the intake to exhaust manifold bolts prior to installation or do I install the manifolds on the engine, torque them to 10 ft lbs (sez so on the manifold) and then the torque down the intake to exhaust manifold connector bolts? I saw this in a Hayne's manual (I know, I know) and it made me wonder, which way is right? By the way, what is the correct torque spec for the intake to exhasut manifold connector bolts? |

Carefully read the Manifold Installation article in the "Articles" section of this site. You loosely install the three intake-to-exhaust fasteners (finger tight), then install the manifolds as an assembly onto the head, then torque the manifold-to-head stud nuts, then torque the three connecting fasteners. |

hey dan what i did on mine was i bolted the intake and exhaust down and torqued them, then i had my machinist surface the mounting faces on the manifolds and then i bolted them on i thought by doing it this way was a good way not to have a leak in between the two manifolds which i heard was a common spot for leaking what do you think about this method? |
