mad_pete Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 The internet suggested 16 lb/ft for rover v8 exhaust manifold bolts. I’m not sure my torque wrench goes that low. Does that matter too much ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mad_pete Posted February 17, 2019 Author Share Posted February 17, 2019 My manifold is slightly uneven so I might strip things before it seals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 I had mine skimmed, which of course helped, I also used the composite big border versions of the gaskets, which are much thicker than the nasty multi-layer tin ones, helps lots with unevenness.

mad_pete Posted February 17, 2019 Author Share Posted February 17, 2019 I attacked mine with sandpaper stick to a flat plate so it’s not too bad but maybe I’ll take some more off just to be sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon White Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Get a smaller torque wrench! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
