Default About to install a header, got a quickie Q

Dont really have time to search, i gotta run up to VatoZone and get the gaskets and get this **** on before I go to work in a few hours.

Question is, we're installing a header. What do I tq the bolts to that go into the head? This is on a b18c1.

Ive never torqed mine.. I just Tighten them.. there is no real moving parts so i dont think torqe isnt a huge issue.
Wheels, Flywheel, Pressure plate, cam caps, crank pulley ECT all have Moving parts around them and those should be torqed down properly.

Intake manifold, Header, Intake, Exhaust, dont really need to be torqed down

Soo True..

Once you feel the bolt is tight give it a 1/4 to 1/2 turn more and ur good.. also remember ANTI SIEZE is your friend

The correct torque spec for the manifold bolts at the head is 23 ft lbs.
