I dredged up some recommended values from Area P when I put mine on and they were pretty low, around
10 inch-pounds I think. They seemed like almost an afterthought, I doubt you have to worry about it too much.

if you break the bolt its too tight.

Area P gaskets are much thicker and better sealing than the oem copper style gaskets. Ours have more "crush value". The flanges do not get tightened flush to the cylinder head. Run it for awhile, then recheck after some heat-cycling and you are good to go.

No, we've never stated that... We've always stated 9 - 11 "foot" lbs

Also OP has been answered/replied to in detail on both this Thread and his other Thread.

Thanks everyone / Kerry

My Gaskets are pretty squashed. Might have to buy a pair later. As long as exhaust fumes aren't coming out the header pipe entrance should it be ok for now?

If they aren't leaking, then no need to replace them.
