Subject: torque specs for 4kq exhaust manifold

[Russ Maki]

Tom,
I went with the torque spec the Bentley lists for the 4-cyl engine, 23nm or
17 lb-ft. I later found a Phil Payne post listing the turbo "exhaust joint"
spec at 25 nm, so 23 sounded pretty correct for an NA engine.

The EM studs on my car backed out quite easily, BTW. But they had been
replaced 50000 miles earlier. :-)
