1&4 bellows exhaust header question

[monsterdog]

Got the crossover pipe and
manifolds off the other day after a long and exciting two days
of nut wrangling and vise-gripping,
and noticed the 1&4 manifold has a bit of a wiggle
where the bellows are welded in -
is this normal? It sounds like there is a loose pipe
with a bit of play underneath that section - other
than that, everything looks solid as can be.

Also - which way do the new exhaust gaskets get installed -
all-metal side to block or to manifold?

Any tricks to getting the exhaust hardware in general
properly torqued? Can't figure out for the life of me how I might
get a damn torque wrench on any of those puppies.

The bellows is there to allow the 1-4 header to expand and contract, so some "wiggle" is OK.

Exhaust gaskets go with the metal side towards the header flanges.

For the exhaust hardware I do a "2 Step" torque by hand.

Once I get ALL of the hardware installed, I snug every thing up and then I start the engine. I let the plumbing heat up enough to cause some expansion, and then I shut the engine down. I do a final "torque" while the plumbing is still hot.
