FAQ

Determine the **specific** torque specifications for the exhaust manifold? keyboard_arrow_down

33 ft-lbs (45 Nm) is the torque specification for most exhaust manifold connections, with some exceptions for Dry Joint systems which require 84 inch lbs (9 Nm) followed by 45 ft-lbs (61 Nm).

What **designated** safety precautions should be taken when working with the fuel system? keyboard_arrow_down

Always work in a well-ventilated area, keep a dry chemical fire extinguisher nearby, and never allow fuel spray or vapors to contact a spark or open flame.

Check the **critical** lubrication requirements for throttle cables and shift cables? keyboard_arrow_down

Every 100 hours or 12 months (or 50 hours/6 months in saltwater) lubricate cable pivot points and guide contact surfaces with SAE 30W engine oil or Quicksilver 2-4-C Marine Lubricant.
