Is there a specific torque for intake and exhaust manifold nuts on a 1275cc engine? I'm using a LCB header and a Mini Spares Centre intake manifold if that matters.
 
No printed torque that I'm aware of, just good and snug. I like using hex nut and lockwashers in addition to the flat washers
 
Just a thought. I've been using brass nuts. They make will make removel a easy job some day down the road. Nothing will ruin your day more than snapping a stud off in a head. Pre engine restore winter of 1999 snap 3 :wall:
 
I'm pretty sure I've seen it listed at 22 ft/lbs.
 
You can't (or at least I couldn't) get a torque wrench on the bottom nuts anyway, so, I just did "good and tight"

I like ordering my intake/exhaust stud/nut kits from Gordon at The B Hive, he includes brass nuts with his kits. Most folks don't think of The B Hive for Spridget parts, but Gordon has alot of stock and is a prince of a guy to deal with.
