How much torque on a stud?

I was putting my engine back together and noticed that the studs on my exhaust manifold are loose. Well I started tighting them. I put them at 40 lbs. Was wondering what is a good figure. Just tight as hell? Or does hell have a number?

I was using that method where you use two nuts on the stud to tighten the stud. But one of the studs was weird. No matter how hard I tightened the two nuts against each other. They moved when I was trying to tighten the stud. What is up with that?

Yeah, I know this is not very exciting. But does anybody have any input on this?
