Does anyone know the torque specs for the exhaust studs on the housing? Will using some nickel anti seize be wise to usre too

When using lube, the the torque values need to be adjust downwards by a certain percentage. I did mine with nickel and just went right in the middle of the spec with no broken studs. I haven't started the car yet so... some more research might be needed on your end.

Perhaps someone could chime in on the nickel. There is one anti-seize that I know of with a higher temp rating. It has glass beads in it. Perhaps that is better with the super hot rotary exhaust.

 

Thanks for the reply. Just need to find out what lbs torque o should use on just the studs. I guess ill use the two nut method to torque it on the housing.

I also bought nickel anti seize Permatex it wasnt too ezpensive for two small tubes

 

Probably same as the exhaust pipe to manifold nut, which is 43-59 lb-ft.

 

I looked in my book and looks like 28-40 ft-lbs but for grade 2 or 3. Also dry



This other site has the same stud inconel size and they say
28ft lbs

 

My apologies for not understanding the post correctly.

Thanks to everyone else that contributed.correctly.
