If you use a Remflex manifold gasket, they recommend tightening the bolts/nuts to a specific amount of gasket COMPRESSION, rather than fastener torque.

 

this means conventional sockets/ratchets/ extensions can be used to install the manifolds and the Remflex gasket.  No torque wrench needed.

 

best of all, they won’t lead like OEM style gasket.
