Manifold on Un-styled B

Pat Patterson (Birdbrain) · Sep 21, 2009

Does someone know what the tork should be for the manifold after installing a new gasket for My 1937 "B" ? I found it to be 96 lbs for the head bolts but havn't got anything for the manifold. Birdbrain

I'd look in my manual but I do not open it up but one maybe twice a year because it is so fragile, as in it is a true 1935 owners manual for a JD-B. Came with this when it was brand new

No idea what it is BUTTTTTTTT those are only like 7/16 or 3/8 bolts n nuts or studs etc and DO NOT take anywhere near the torque of head bolts. I like to use brass or stainless steel nuts n washers up on top and torque then re torque a few times after warm ups. I take it you mean the 4 studs n nuts that hold the manifold on right?? I have the head planed/machined smooth so the gasket holds good.

"Thanks for the come back Guy's" I now hear that they just need to be good and tight not even tork'ed just tight. Should have the gaskets by tomorrow and can get started re-assembly.
