What ft/lb to torque and when to torque them? I have a header leak and tried 20 ft/lbs on a cold engine.

 

If I am not mistaken, the dynatech supermaxx system says 15ft/lbs. Don't know about stock or anything else though.

 

I am thinking about loosing them all and retorqueing them back down starting from the middle working my way to the ends. If that doesn't work, I will probably need to replace the header gasket due to the amount of miles driven with leak.

 

Just make sure to retorque them after the heat up and cool back down.

 

It Is 11 The First Time And After You Run It Up To Temp Let It Cool And Put 18ft Lbs On Them.

 

Any suggestions on header gaskets?

 

lots of people use the stock manifold gaskets. some reuse them or buy new ones from the dealership

 

Looks like I will have to do the same. Can't seem to locate any.

 

If you are going to loosen that bolt, take them on out and inspect the gaskets. Check with SDPC here at the site for the gaskets. Most of the sponsors carry OEM gaskets.

 

Bought some 1" bolts at lunch. Hopefully that will work.
