So the studs for the exhaust manifold. What is the torque setting for putting them in the block? Just til there tight?

Tight just Enough to not break them is what I do

Theres a fine line there though...lol I just went with til they were snug and then another 1/4 turn since I couldn't find any info.

Oh I know. That's probably enough. Why were your manifolds off?

Im swapping in a jdm motor and its frpm a van, so I needed to put the manifolds from my 4runner on the new motor.

Can someone please tell me the torque specs for the bolts attaching the rear lower control arms to the frame and rear axle?

Think this is good, check out this one.
And they'll be more added soon.

On my 97 4Runner / 2.7 L 3RZ-FE I4 the water pump has two bolt sizes.
I read that the bolts with the 10mm head are supposed to be torqued to 5.75 Ft-Lbs or 69 In-Lbs. I torqued them to 10 Ft-Lbs. The two bolts with the 12mm head are supposed to be torqued to 20 Ft-Lbs.
I also read that the Camshaft Timing Belt Sprocket Bolt is torqued to 40 Ft-Lbs.
Gen3 Rear Trailing Arms / Control Arms Torque Specs?
Gents,
Can anyone share the torque specs for the Rear Trailing Arms / Upper Control Arms and Track Bar?
I apologize if this is old news, but cannot locate this/these torque specs.
I see plenty of posts about leaf springs and mounts, but not the trailing arms.
Any assistance is appreciated.

Edit:
NEVERMIND - Found it:
Upper control arm x Frame-64
Upper control arm x Axle housing-64
Lower control arm x Frame-107
Lower control arm x Axle housing-107
Lateral control rod x Frame-64
Lateral control rod x Axle housing-64

Which torque specs is right?
I just did my rear struts today and torqued them to spec(47). I have the FSM to reference and will post a pic of where it says 47 foot pounds. I did a quick search and am finding a lot of people claiming the torque spec is like 72 foot pounds for the same lower bolt on the rear suspension. My FSM is for 1997 4runner. Maybe the newer 3rd gen FSM changed the torque spec? If someone could shine some light on this that would be great, don't mean to threadjack but do think it is relevant. That's almost 30 ft pounds difference! Any help would be great , thanks!

steering rack torque
The steering rack torque appears to have changed on the horizontal bolt & nut. The old 1996 Tacoma/4Runner FSM calls out 141 ft/lbs and the newer 2002 4Runner FSM calls out 96 ft/lbs. Big O Tires also has 96 ft/lbs on their source. I spoke with a guy at Toyota and he came up with 151 ft/lbs. (I think he's looking at the wrong FSM). Anyway either one is quite a difference. Maybe it causes premature wear on the heavy rubber bushing at 141 ft/lbs so they changed it to 96 ft/lbs. ?? Here's what was posted for steering rack torque on this initial post: (maybe someone can confirm the revision?)
-------------------------------------------
Steering rack mounting clamp: 123 ft-lbs
Steering rack vertical center mounting bolt: 123 ft-lbs
**Steering rack horizontal mounting bolt: 141 ft-lbs ==>> now 96 ft/lbs. ??**
------------------------------------------------
p.s. Don't be fooled by steering rack or driver's side outer tie rod wiggle/play that you can't seem to get rid of. Especially if you're at or near 200K miles, and maybe even 100K. (I had a spare rack with 100K, same issue). The rack housing has another needle bearing deep down in the steering stem that apparently wears out. It's not just the rack guide and spring issue or mount bushings in my experience, or it might be getting damaged hammering off tie rod ends. Use a puller. And I don't know if the needle bearing can be serviced. I bought a new Toyota rack and I'm done. Enough wasted time and effort. My '99 4Runner has 230K miles.

This is one of those crazy Toyota idiosyncratic things, why not make it 123 ft-lbs across the board?
141 to 96 is a pretty big difference.
5vzfe Water pump stud bolt torque spec
Hey Doc do you have the torque requirements for part #90116-08270? These are the three stud bolts that the water pump slides onto and then the thermostat housing is fastened with three nuts. I think all the nuts call for 14ft lbs but have been unable to find the stud bolt torque spec. Thank you
