Re: Straight 6 Offenhauser Woes

I remember the manifold-to-block nuts/bolts being a pain. I think I used a 12-point combination wrench and just getting a tiny bit of a turn at a time. I never torqued them, just got them as tight as possible, which probably wasn't anywhere close to over-torquing. You will have to repeatedly snug them up after running it for a while to get them to take a set.

I can't remember any other specifics (it was a while ago), but there was some monkeying to be done to get it all set up.
