OK, I know the top nuts are 7.2 ft/lbs. But I'm talking about the outer valve cover bolts themselves. the ones that tighten onto the the camshaft holder. I am replacing all of them but I know the inner bolts are 20 ft/lbs. I have searched and i also couldn't find it in the helms. here is a pic of the bolt I am replacing

thx.

ps. not my pic, hope nobody minds

 

i think its 15 ft/lb.

 

No, it's still 7.2 ft-lbs for all 8 of the valve cover bolts (inner and outer).

edit - it's on page 6-79 of the 94 Helms manual (order and tq spec), unless you are talking about another bolt in the pic. I am assuming you are talking about the broken one in the middle.

 

I am talking about the stud itseltf not the bell nut at the top.

 

Ah, got it. Well, I think the stud is 20, same as the other cam cover bolts. Here's the page out of the Helms
