Default Valvecover

when putting on a valve cover, is there a specific torque you have to put on the nuts or can you just tighten em down tight and be done.

There is a specific torque. However, if you are lacking a torque wrench just get them down tight. However, do not over tighten it.

You should always torque to spec. However, with the valve cover I never have .
