Subject:Re: Exhaust Flange Gaskets and torque

I have received a couple of emails regarding the torque for the exhaust
flange bolts/nuts.  According the the Bentley, the M8 hardware should be
14ftlb from what I saw.  Did I see something wrong?  My engine is a Digijet.
 I have seen additional torque values on these bolts and nuts as being
15ftlb.  For other versions, it is as high as 18 or 22.  Is there something
that properly defines the torque that I need to use.  I can then correct the
Bentley for my van.
