Default Torque settings for headers....

I am replacing the rust infected headers tomorrow, In the JBA intructions there is no mention to torque settings for the headers bolts,

Any Ideas what it is for those who have done the install......

Thanks

Crank those bastards down! No, I'm just jokeing. I did them myself and just made sure they were tight, but also tighten(?) them down after you drove it for awhile.

I don't recall a certain lbs/tq number.. soo.. pretty much what you said lol
I beleive that about after 100 miles of use, go under and give another tightening.

Let us know how the install goes!
