Torque for 601 manifold bolts?

641Dave · Jun 1, 2012

I'm slowing putting things back together and in between cleaning the gas tank and house chores I got the manifold cleaned up a bit and back on the head last night.

I couldn't find any torque specs in my book though. I'm sure it's in there somewhere but I couldn't find it.

What do you guys torque your manifolds down to? I'm using new gaskets and this is for a 601 ford.

Thanks.

There is no set torque for the manifold bolts as such. But there is a set torque for each size bolt but I do not have a chart that tell mes me that but it has been posted on this site more then one

If you are using brass nuts on the studs as you should, 25 lbs./ft is about right.

No Brass.

I figure to torque them around 45lbs.

I would not, and I would use the proper brass nuts.
