I'm installing a DC 4-2-1 ceramic coated header and was curious if anyone knew what the reccommended torque is for the bolts? Also any other tips for installing the header is welcome too.

 

i think it like 12 ft/lbs....but dont quote me...you dont want to run them on too hard or you will kfuck up the head.......make sure to clean it off really well and wear latex gloves so you wont get any funger prints on the header.....this will keep it looking nice after you fire it up....mine has nice finger prints burned onto the outside cause i was a dumbass

 

i think it is actually like 21 or 23 ft/lbs. make sure you tighten them inside out.

I meant the title in a general sense, as in "installing headers on integras" not in a "I'm installing 2 or more headers on my one integra"...also in my initial post i only put HEADER. now that we have that out of the way can anyone answer the question please?

well i know on the intake manifold youre supposed to do it inside out...i dont know why it would be any different on the exhaust manifold...i did mine inside out and have no leaks or problems. that guy also said he "tightened them as hard as he could"

I was going to get the stainless steel headers instead of ceramic, the ceramic loses its coating after a while
