On my XB9SX, the header bolts seem - for lack of a better term - not so tight, when the torque specs from the manual are used. I believe it is 92 in-lbs max. Is this the appropriate spec, or should it be higher? I know that it has been mentioned by many here on BadWeb that the primary chain specs from the manual are too tight and I was wondering if perhaps the exhaust header bolt torque specs might also be off. Insights?
