I am FINALLY installing my longtubes this weekend!

Two things I want to avoid in order of priority:

1) breaking a header bolt off into the block

2) having the headers come loose

How tight should I tighten the header bolts? Bassani directions don't say. Is there a torque spec? And if there is - I am skeptical that I could fit a torque wrench where the header bolts are.

Help me out here.
