Title: Valve Cover Question Post by: James_P on March 12, 2012, 10:04:00 PM Hey guys, I was 100% sure on where to post this question but i figured stock motors was a good choice. Please move it if it is in the wrong form, but my question is what is the torque specs on the valve cover bolts, and what is the order? Btw the motor is a k24a4,
thanks a bunch! :) Title: Re: Valve Cover Question Post by: timot_one on March 13, 2012, 12:42:08 AM Here you go.

Title: Re: Re: Valve Cover Question Post by: CrackerTeg on March 13, 2012, 10:04:52 AM There's a torque spec for the valve cover? I've never torqued the valve cover down, unless you count German torque spec as an actual spec.

Its a rubber gasket, so it's easy to over tighten. True. I have a delicate touch though.Title: Re: Valve Cover Question Post by: CrazyCreashunz on March 14, 2012, 08:51:40 PM I have over tightend the valve cover bolts on Piero's ride before and snapped one of the bolts! So be really careful when tightening.... we had to special order the damn things and it came 2 days later.
