Subject: Exhaust manifold torquing
IP: Logged

Message:
Took my dak by the muffler shop today and he told me where the leak was. Its the bolt closest to the firewall on the drivers side. When I put my manifolds back on a while ago I didnt torque them to any specs or work from the outside bolt in or anything. I just slapped them on and tightened the hell out of them using the old hardware. Did I do something wrong?

I'm sure its just like the intake manifold I put on mine. You have to go in a certain order to tighten the bolts if you don't you will have leaks, because its not sitting right because the air flows through the manifold in a certain direction before it reaches other parts.
