neone know i recently bought a obx header and dont know the torque specs
IDK the tq specs but i know i just do it pretty tight but not over kill. Dont gorilla kill the bolts. Just remember to go from the middle out and tighten little by litte. I.E. tigthen 1/4 way from the center out then go back and tighten again and keep doing that till you feel as if its good enough. Someone may say differently but thats how i do mine.
only reason i asked cause i know the gasket needs little room to expand when warm and most cars torque isnt to high somewhere around 8 lbs i think but i just wanted to make sureQuote:

If you cant finger it out use the two torque method use a regular socket wrench and tighten til your 2 veins pop out. Thats how we tightened everything at the shop when we re assembled unless we used an air ratchet
ok then do u know best way to remove bolts from stock header with out snapping them? and should i repalce them with new ones or is it ok to use same ones.Quote:

BTW: moving to proper section.
G-rim to the rescue. Definitely put anti seize. It helps everything. Also be careful about 13 I would dial it down like 1 ft/lb to be safe then after everything is tightened go back and do it at 13Quote:
