Retorque bolts on manifolds... risers and elbows too??

[amajamar]

I have replaced manifolds,3" risers, and elbows on my OL677287 5.7 Horizon, and I have read to retorque the manifold to head bolts after bringing up to full temp. Does this also apply to the riser/elbow retainer nuts? I used the graphite gaskets on the job, if that makes any difference.

Thanks in advance!

If they are 'dry-joint' elbows, DO NOT re-torque them. If they are standard elbows, then re-torquing is fine.

Yes, standard. Thanks!
