Re: Manifold Torque
Usualy when you retighten you will feel some minor looseness on some of the manifold nuts . After a few check and retighten they should settle in and hold . Most likely the manifold gaskets will shrink after a few heat cycles and retightenings . Its not about making it tighter each time. The manifold nuts just need to hold uniform tightness. Ford furnished a wtench that was used for head nuts & manifold nuts on one end , the other end fit the 3-X spark plug . The length of the mentioned wrench was supposeto give the proper leverage for the average person to tighten these nuts and spoark plug . This wrench ,came with the car.
