I hope this isn't too much of a rookie question.
Is their a torque setting for the exhaust manifold on a 235?
And also exhaust manifold to intake manifold?
It on a 59 | | |

I couldn't find a spec for the bolts that connect the 2 manifolds together at the heat riser. I suggest replacing the 2 dowells at the outside ends of the exhaust manifold with bolts/studs. It really helps with any leaks in the manifold gasket.

I think the dowels have been replaced, mine has bolts all across the manifold.

Especially if you're running an aftermarket intake. It's somewhat tight in there for a socket.
