    Can anyone confirm the torque values for all the items on the attached picture
    I am interested in 19, 16 and 21
    The exhaust pipe flange bolts to the head and the clamps on the front and rear to the collector.
    Many thanks
    Chris

    The HSM is not showing those exact specs for those bolts and just says that the Standard Torque values.

    16 = BOLT, FLANGE (8X32) 8mm bolt and nut 24-30 N-m (2.4-3.0 kg-m, 17-22 ft=lb)
    19 = NUT, CAP (6MM) 6mm bolt and nut 8-12 N-m (0.8-1.2 kg-m, 6-9 ft=lb)
    21 = BOLT, FLANGE (8X35) 8mm bolt and nut 24-30 N-m (2.4-3.0 kg-m, 17-22 ft=lb)

    If needed I can take a pic of the Standard Torque Vales listed in the HSM

    So basically hand tight with a standard socket wrench, you don't need crazy amounts of torque to properly tighten these bolts.
