Torque spec for headers?
Torque spec for headers? Just want to make sure I'm not gonna screw anything up. What should I torque the header bolts down to. Also, any tips for installing Macs with ORY?

Re: Torque spec for headers? I can’t remember the sequence, but I know it was 11ft-lbs on the first pass and 18ft-lbs on the second (and final) pass.
