what is the proper torque setting for a 2000 Civic EX? Also, what is the proper tightening pattern?

Thanks

tighten from the inside out, I didnt know the torque for it so tighten it till its just tight enough

You are talking about the exhaust manifold?

If so the correct torque is 33 N-m (3.2 kfg-m, 23 lbf-ft).

thanks guys. And yes, I was talking about the exhaust manifold.
