I had an exhaust leak at the connection from the exhaust manifold to the turbo. I have the new gasket and while I was at it I thought I would check the torque on all the exhaust manifold bolts and then when I reinstall the turbo I need to know what that torque should be. I asked at the supply house and they said they sell parts but don't know specs.
Thanks.

Mel my book says 35 to 37 ft lbs
Clifford, Thank you very much. Exhaust manifold the same?
Melbo
35-37 common for a 3/8 bolt (9/16 head) are the manifold 3/8" also?
you might want to check that manifold for warpage.
It is pretty hard to warp the manifolds. But I use a smooth file to take off the rust and carbon for a smooth surface. Also, be sure to use new nuts and washers with Neversieze. Hopefully the studs are in good shape-- removing the studs is a whole new topic.

Thank You for the help. Yes I got new nuts and they have the flange on them. I will be sure to clean both surfaces as I assemble it.
