BRZ header install
I just installed some UEL headers on my BRZ yesterday and I didn't even think to check what the header nuts are supposed to be torqued to.
I'm a little worried that I may have over tightened them. Drove the car for about 50 miles now everything seems fine. Stock spec is 27 ft lbs I believe? Hard to imagine what 27 ft lbs feels like with a regular ratchet. Should I get a torque wrench and loosen and re-tighten the nuts? Thanks guys |

You should be fine, I wouldn't worry too much about hitting exactly 27 lb-ft. Did you use new bronze nuts?
