Is there a torque specification for the valve cover bolts, I don't seem to find any specified in the service manual. |

I could not find anything in several good books. Alot depends on the type of gasket used, its more of a feel thing. Be sure to clean out your bolt holes, so the bolts dont premeturly bottom out, or your cover wont seal. Im sure someone here can be a bit more exact. good luck phil |

Thanks for the information, I have always just tightened until it "felt right". |
