torque specs for 4kq exhaust manifold

[Tom B]

Russ,
Thanks for the tip, I ended up using the 4 cyl torque specs with no problem.

I had a very empty looking engine bay after removing the old head and 
everything else that goes with it, now that the new head is installed it is 
slowly filling back up as I put parts back on...... Now where did I put that 
shoehorn? :-)

have a good one all,
Tom B.
'87 4kq- was beheaded, is now in the process of re-animation

<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. :-)
