Torque Help!

[TyTeg]

I took off the Valve cover last night to replace one of the four out side bolts that hold the cover on. Can some one tell me what the torque is for the out side four corner bolts and the corresponding nuts? Also does someone know the torque for the four bolts and nuts that are under the spark plug cover? (does that make sense). Thanks Tyler

if it is just the bolts on the valve cover the torque specs are less important than something like the head. I would suggest looking in your helms manual, or checking on thsi site http://rollingmotors.com/index.html althoguh I don't think they have valve cover torque specs.

The proper torque spec for the valve cover bolts (both on the corners and under the plug wire cover) is 7.2 ft/lbs... although I prefer to use 9 ft/lbs to minimize seepage.
