Default Re: How tight should exhaust manifold bolts be?

Wouldn't worry with threadlock clean up the threads and use a copper coat anti sieze cos the next poor bastard to pull it off might end up stripping the thread or snapping a bolt. As a guide I did an exhaust manifold on a 13 litre DAF truck last week with 10mm bolts into a cast iron head, 60nm, you probably did yours up tighter.
