Manifold Stud And Nut Torque

[zoomzoom]

Just searching for torque figures for manifold studs and nuts. Not sure if I am reading the manual right, it says 27-31 nm for the studs, but what about the nuts? Will they be the same? Also I have a new gasket ready to go so I assume that has some give in it.

that figure should be for the nuts.

The aids you do up until they're just over finger tight.

I totally agree with luke - just finger tighten all studs and then torque the nuts on

Well FML, one stud broke off leaving the thread in the head, another one is still in the head and doesn't want to move. Looks like Ill need a thread doctor...

Anyhow, since I am replacing all the exhaust studs, I was wondering should the exhaust manifold to turbo studs be replaced? Or the dump pipe studs? Or do people just replace the manifold studs and call it a day?

The manifold studs are the hard ones to get to, but it would be a good idea to change them all while it's apart, unless you enjoy ripping turbo's off as much as I do.

Hmm, I tried to remove them using the 2 nut method, they dont seem to want to move. Kinda scared to try and get them out actually.....

If I do get them out however, is there a specific stud for them? They look fairly similar to the exhaust studs in length, still 10x1.25mm

Just got to a Nissan dealership if they have them in stock you can check them there?
