I've got an 04 5.7 and most say to use stainless studs if doing exhaust manifold gaskets, for obvious reasons. Could anyone say what torque specs should be if using stainless studs and nuts (plus nickel anti seize). I read 18 ft-lb but is that just the nut? What should the stud be?
Will the anti seize or stainless change the what the torque value should be?
Also, should the manifold be machined if there is minor pitting or maybe a diy solution? Thought about gluing some sandpaper to a sheet of glass if the manifold looks bad.
Thank you
