If you are using a gasket on the manifold make sure you go back and retorque after a week or so. They backed off a bit on mine and the gasket started to fold up on itself. I put an extra 40lb of torque after that. So far so good.

You put an extra 40lb on top of the original torque of 45lbs after a week ?
Was it leaking ? How would it fold up ?

Yes it starting leaking out of #1 cylinder
and yes a extra 40 on 45 cause I didnt want to do it again, Our steering arm runs down the right side and some of the bolts were near impossible to get at with a torque wrench.
