Manifold Nut Torque?

Anonymous · April 9, 2005, 13:23

Hello All,

This is my first post although I have been lurking for a good while before I got my 2 a month ago... Best purchase ever! s:D

s:D

Anyway, after reading about the precats (yes ANOTHER precat post) I am about to remove them. My question is does anyone know the correct torque setting for the 14mm manifold to cat bolts and more importantly the setting for the 5 manifold to head bolts.

Forgive me if this has been covered elsewhere as I have used the search but not found anything.

Thanks

Koni

P.S

This is a great site and helped me decide to get the 2... Excellent! s:D

Manifold to head are 35ft lbs, not sure about the others though, sorry.

My repair manual (for 2000) says those are 37Nm/27ftlb s:? :? s:?

Manifold to cat are 62Nm/46ftlb

Just to confirm (after finding out the hard way) that Tem's figures are correct. Ignore the tosh I posted!

Edit: sent Tem a PM instead. Sorry for the temporary topic drift.

My 2003 MRS manual, confirms this BUT for manifold to cat, it is the nut at 62Nm, the bolt is 43Nm/32ftlb. Not quite sure how/why, but there it is.

For the manifold nuts, I split the difference and set them at 36 ft lbs. The manifold-to-cat trio are a little hard to get to without extenders, so I didn't worry about torquing those and just got them all to "very tight" by the arm-o-meter.

By the way, congrats on tackling this job - another Spyder saved.
