exhaust manifold tightening pattern
exhaust manifold tightening pattern
does anyone know what the exhaust manifold bolt tightening pattern for the lsj header, and how many ft/lbs of torque for each bolt.
when i put my header on i started from the middle and worked my way out thus pushing any slack in the gasket outward to get a nice seel. worked for me! and 10 lb/ft is the correct amount. i would suggest putting on some anti-sieze on the bolts so the steel bolts won't corrode to the aluminum block if you ever need to remove it in the future.
i had a leak when i first did it cuz i had a hard time getting to the bolts so i did "wrench" on them the second time and used some "copper spray a gasket" and its good now.
