    Looking for the torque for headers on the 225 Dauntless odd fire, search I found came up with 10-15 lbs on one site 18lbs on another and 23-24 lbs on another site? When I changed gaskets on them awhile back I think I went 20lbs but now that I have new headers going on I want to find the correct torque for them....

    Check the manufacture of the Headers. Torque should be based on the flange they used for it and gasket they recommend.

    Thanks, just replacing old set of Hedmans with a new set so I will give them a call.

    You should also torque them 2 or 3 times after some heat cycles. Header bolts like to work loose.
