Is there a specific order you remove the exhaust manifold nuts from the head. I thought I saw a specific order you are supposed to remove/install the bolts to properly secure the gasket.

 

get new gasket

 

yes there is a certain way to remove and install, does it matter? Eh its something that some may debate. I have removed plenty of manifolds of nissans (due to being a nissan tech) and i dont follow the order they tell you to and it does nothing.

So if you wanna play it safe follow the order, if not then its not gonna harm anything.

Now installing I would follow the tightening order.

 

do you by any chance know the order? I lost the service manaul

 

i dont do it in any order but when tightening you need to use a tq wrench. i think if i remember correctly its 55pounds..........

 

Ive taken mine off at least 5 times and never went in order. Just make sure not to over trq when putting back on!

 

I would torque them from the inside out when putting it back together.
