289 Exhaust manifold Torque

Can some one please tell me the answer to this? Should I use oil or anything on the threads?

Hello Paticarl,
I would clean the bolts, then spray a small amount of WD-40 on them.
If properly torqued they should be fine.
Be sure to torque them in sequence and don't take them to the final setting all at once. Repeat the order several times till you get at the setting.

Check this link from Steve sturgin. It has a link to a great pictures etc. on page 3
