Cannot get exhaust manifold nut to torque
I cannot seem to get a nut to torque on one of my exhaust manifold studs. I can get the nut hand tight, but when I start using a torque wrench it just spins. When I take it off I can see that the stud has backed out of the engine block some. I then re-install the stud using the double-nut method and get it as tight as I can until the nuts on the stud spin (meaning the stud has been torqued into the block). Then when I re-install the turbos manifold and put on a copper lock nut and try to torque it down to even 20 FT-LBS, it just spins.
What is going on? What can I do to get this to torque down?
