Well, the install went alright with one exception. I'm pretty sure that I overtorqued the exhaust bolt. Uh, yeah, I know I did.
The book calls for 10 foot pounds. How you are supposed to get a torque wrench in there is beyond me. Of course, I didn't even look at the book. I just "knew" that they had to be tight.
Crap. If I back them out now I'll probably need a new gasket, correct? Maybe I should just leave well enough alone.

Glad I got the longer nuts.
Maybe you can just leave it all and just add a nut to it all.
For what it's worth I think using anti-zeeze on the nuts just makes it easier to turn and thus actuatly stretching the thread easier.

Once you put a universal joint/socket on a torque wrench the torque reading goes out the window unless you keep the universal square.
