Or rather a bolt. I know it's supposed to be torqued to 13'lbs, but with the heat wrap on the manifold, I can't get a socket on the bolt. I've tightened it by hand twice since installation and that bolt keeps running itself out. I'm thinking about putting a locking washer on, but EHMotorsports pointed out that the heat typically invalidates any real benefit in short order. So...
...tightening by hand with a 7" wrench. Just how tight should it be? Get it snug, then a quarter turn? 2/5ths? 3/5ths? They are new ARP studs, but that's because a few of the stock bolts were broken after the last round of work. That day sucked and I'm not looking to repeat it.
