Reply With QuoteAlso Rave tells me to tighten from the inside out, could I get away with just doing from the middle to the fire wall? Or can I just do the one that is loose?

Hi All.
how long since you checked your manifold Nuts?
Caught this one in time.
After doing the manifold gasket 18 months or more ago I thought I best check it,\ before a trip Form Port Macquarie to Geelong. took the now cracked heat shield off and there you go, end manifold Nut is finger tight. Stud not broken but nearly lost the Nut. I am hoping to get away with re-torque the nuts. Should I do this in the morning when it is cold or now when warm?
Cheers

SupporterI would retorque them all from the inside out. While the others may be tighter than finger tight, it doesn't mean they're still the correct torque tight and it would pay to check. Torque them while cold.Originally Posted by mattg

I would not 'retorque' them, they beak easy enough on their own, just nip them up tight.
only retorque them a few hundred klm after fitting all new studs and gasket.
thanks from what i can tell rave disc said 24nm so not that tight to start with. im doing it now so it is cold. Frosty even. 5 degrees in port. well almost frosty
cheers

SupporterThe torque setting is only 25nm. That's not much at all. Most people would probably 'nip' them up tighter than that if they weren't using a torque wrench.
3 were loose.
Hopefully that holds things together.
Cheers
