what should these be torqued up to? my old man reckons manual quotes 13 Ft Lbs, but they are all blowing like a dutch whore.

 

the studs go into the alloy head, so i imagine they wont be so high, but also, 3 ft lbs is a bit low isnt it?

 

torque setting for exhaust manifold attachment 3/8th" U.N.F setscrew 46Nm (34 lbf ft.)So there you go,kiss you dutch friends goodbye!;)

.....think the exhaust manifold gaskets are on the wrong way round...he aint happy - just shown him that they can be mirrored, which puts the ports 2 inches out of alignment :)

That'd do it. They'll get nice and hot, expand, then you'll have to tighten again anyway.
