MG MG Y Type - Torque Values

Is anyone aware if there are prescribed torque values for the exhaust manifold studs/nuts and the tapper inspector cover studs/nuts?

20 ft/lb for the manifold clamp nuts
I don't think there's a spec for the sidecover hardware, just tight but not too tight as it'll squash the gasket out of shape

Check out the website :) - plenty of data on there. In particular see https://www.mg-cars.org.uk/imgytr/techdata.shtml#Size_Matters

As for the side covers - I can highly recommend John James metal side cover gaskets - bought one for each of my Y, Y/T and YB!

Thanks Paul,
I will check out the information on torque of bolts and nuts.
Regarding gaskets, I am giving the ones from Tom Lange of MGT Repair a try.
