MVS Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 No sign of anything in main manual or Duratec suppliment. Does anyone know what it is? Also the front exhaust clamp (manifold to front pipe) should this be black powder-coat??just seems a bit odd. Anyway had a good weekend building, and it's stating to look like a car finally.

Symbiotic_Caterpillar Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 When I asked Mark at Westfield about this he told me just to do them up finger tight and not to use a torque wrench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVS Posted September 18, 2006 Author Share Posted September 18, 2006 Just spoken to Kingswingford and they reakon 18-20lbs/ft or slightly over to get flange back to seal on the gasket, so it seems like use your commom sense again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
