Manifold torque settings, Vitesse Mk1 2Litre

Hi. Just wanted to check I'd understood these figures please

Exhaust manifold outer studs,x2, 22-24 lbf (hope this not too high, as new studs, look they are copper?)

Exhaust/inlet clamps, x6, 22-24 lbf

Inlet studs, x2, 14-16 lbf

Inlet to exhaust (the one underneath that clamps the bodies together, I assume?), x1, 22-24 lbf

Thanks for any info.

That looks about right. The torques are fairly low because the manifolds have to be able to creep. In particular, if you fit high tensile studs to the exhaust outer mountings and tighten them real tight... your exhaust manifold will likely crack fairly soon.

Thanks for that. I didn't find the manuals descriptions that clear.
