ChRiDDa Member 2 Member For: 14y 4m 2d Posted 27/01/11 07:29 AM Share Posted 27/01/11 07:29 AM Hey All,Just a quick question in regards to exhaust manifold torque settings - I've read that 27Nm is the recommended torque for the exhaust manifold bolts, but in the Gregories service manual I have, it recommends 40Nm for the turbo (27Nm for N/A 6)Local Ford dealer wouldnt tell me what it should be, hoping one of you kind folk will be able to shed some light as to what it should be!Cheers!

I always thought it was 27 and did mine at 32nm.Just checked Ford the manual again 27nm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
