[nickwillyhams]

[jeffchiz]

[N80Jamie]

[nickwillyhams]

[CoolC]

I got new studs, washers and nuts when I did mine as I ruined a few in the process. Was about a fiver for the lot

[nickwillyhams]

Does anyone no the torque setting for exhaust manifold studs?

[Mike306]

Just get the longest breaker bar u can find and swing off it till the nuts get really really tight then suddenly just go loose. That's when u know it's right

Its probably only around 8 Nm

[nickwillyhams]

8? You sure? I was thinking more along the line of 20-30, well its 28nm on the bentley w12 if that's anything to go by!?

[nickwillyhams]

Meant 18nm

[KamRacing]

I doubt it would need more than 12-15 n m, I dont have a haynes manual though with me to be sure, its certainly not going to be a lot.

studs are 8-10 nm and the copper nuts are 6-8 nm if your using the copper nuts that is.
