torque specs for header on 02 galant es? 4cyl

[soundQ]

neone know i recently bought a obx header and dont know the torque specs

[Shadow19]

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 sure

Wrong area This should be in 8G customizing the car.

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

Service manual says for SOHC exhaust manifold nut requires 13lbs of torque. I suggest also to apply some high temp nickle anti seize on the nuts before you torque them down.


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 13
