[Healeys] Torque setting for manifolds

[Alan Seigrist]

Steve -

These are fixed with brass nuts and the gaskets seal best with light
pressure.  I don't know if there's a torque setting for these but
usually around 25 ft lbs should do the job.  Too tight and you'll
pinch the gaskets which makes them not seal properly.
