I normally break the bolt and come back half a turn haha

[JETURBO]

IMHO torque on exhaust manifold bolts are not always a true representation of whats needed especially on an ally head

In a brand new situation yes torque to specs

But if its done some work and been loosened and tightened stacks of times ( like the turbos do ) I have personally tightened until that point where your past the torque spec but not going to strip it and coupled with some norlock washers is a almost permint fix

Done it to specs so many times but on a very well used manifold/stud/bolt combo it isnt enough

Lol's haha

Give it the old , just a bit more , just a bit more

Works 73% of the time every time

Put good quality studs in head and norlock washers and good quality nuts

[turbotrana]

Studs and nord-lock washers. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink.
