    Hello
    I'm about to replace my exhaust manifold on my 170 E-van if I can can get the bolts out! My question is what is the torque when replacing the new bolts?
    Thanks Rally72

    I have a spare engine in my garage. I tried to remove the manifold and 3 of the bolts sheared, so be careful....!!!

    Rally 72

    Torque to 13-18 lbs.
    Just a tip, torque the bolts, run it to get to normal temp, let it cool and torque them again. I found out the hard way (replacing the gasket twice) that the bolts need to be retorqued once it heats and cools.
    Not that the gaskets are expensive but it's a pain in the A$$ doing this twice.
