cam seal help?

Do you need to tighten the valve cover bolts to factory torque specs or can you just tighten them???

Re: cam seal help? (drudy)

the factory spec is only 7 lb/ft, so unless you have a torque wrench that goes that low just be gentle and make sure they're secure. The torque to get to that spec on a 6 inch socket wrench would be like a 14 lb person standing on it - which isn't much at all.
