Default 2 different torque specs - exhaust manifold

RAVE has a torque spec of 55 Nm for the exhaust manifold on page 06-7 (Torque Wrench Settings)

RAVE has a torque spec of 38 Nm for the exhaust manifold on page 30-2-16 (Manifold and Exhaust Systems -V8 ; REPAIRS; Gasket - Exhaust Manifold

Anyone know why there is this discrepancy?

Use the lower spec.

Default Agree

Yes, I agree, the lower spec is correct.

I suppose I will have to assume that the torque tables are not accurate.
