need some info

07-16-2008, 11:23 AM

I'm on a trip with my brother, and 1000 miles from my manual. Can someone please look up the torque specification for the exhaust header "nuts"?

My stock exhaust snapped so I had to take it off to get it welded back together, and I want to know the spec to put them back on, with new gaskets of course.

Thanks in advance.

I tighten them as evenly as possible and I try and tighten them just enough to squash the crush gaskets.
