Jerry Roberts Posted September 23, 2019 Report Share Posted September 23, 2019 It really is a workout . Gotta be a contortionist . I don't do any work on mine at all unless I put on my worst clothes . Just do a 5 minute fix on a squeak and your clothes are ruined . ?

bambamshere Posted September 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2019 I don't mind. It is just today I feel like hell for some reason. Oh well I am sure it will go away by tomorrow. After seeing Chiropractor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg g Posted September 23, 2019 Report Share Posted September 23, 2019 When you retighten everything, leave the bolts holding the manifolds together finger tight, then tighten the manifold nuts starting in the center and working towards the ends alternating front and back. Do this in about three go arounds, snug, about an half turn more, then another quarter turn. Do the four holding the manifolds together each time also. Restart the car run to operating temp. Shut off wait till it'till warm but not going to burn you then check every thing again. I forget the actual torque specs but around 10 pd ft rings a bell or was it 10 inch pounds, either way tight but not so tight that keeps stuff from moving a bit when it goes through the heat cycles.

Merle Coggins Posted September 24, 2019 Report Share Posted September 24, 2019 What’s the condition of the exhaust pipe downstream of the manifold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh it probably been on there since Christ was a cowboy. But it probably could do with a new exhaust. Probably not going to happen this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
