while on the subject, how tight should the two exaust doughnut bolts be?
Just snug 'em up. Make them as tight as you can with your socket wrench. I prefer a 1/2" drive ratchet, the nut on the top closest to the inner side of the swingvalve is a PITA to get on, good luck with that.
With the exhaust manifold bolts, same thing, just make them tight enouugh with a 1/2" drive. Maybe beat on the end with a hammer for another 1/2 turn or so.
------Is it bad if I dont use locktite on my bolts for the exhaust manifold? I have pulled the head twice without using it, and they came right out after some convincing.------
