Hi all, does anyone know the torque setting for tightening the downpipe to the cylinder head please? I've looked in the service manual but there seems to be no mention of it. Many thanks in advance.

The nuts are tightened to approx 18 lbs/ft [25 Nm]

CORRECTION! Those figures are for studs. NUTS torque up to about 6 lbs/ft.

Thanks Presto, I will be using two copper gaskets and don't want to distort them.
