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

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