I have a 533 which I have owned and driven regularly since 1974. I would suggest 25 fl/lbs would be about right. The theory is that the exhaust manifold, which heats considerably more than the inlet part of the manifold set is able to slide over the manifold gasket without gripping the gasket. You may use manifold sealant on the inwards side of the gasket but you should not use any sealant on the outer side of the manifold gasket. Tightening sequence is optional. Tightening from inside to outside appears logical to me in ironing out the gasket. Flat steel washers should be ok . I have not found it necessary to use lock washers..... Works for me. PT
