I removed my exhaust manifold recently to replace a welch plug. I put the bolts back on pretty much as tight as I could (lots of leverage, lots of grunting) but it occurred to me later that maybe they were a bit hard to get off because they were rusted a bit and also had threadlock applied.
I'm going to take it off again to apply exhaust gasket cement and use threadlock on the bolts (do it properly), so should I be doing these bolts extra tight again, or is that going overboard with a gasket+cement? |

How tight should exhaust manifold bolts be?
