when putting the valve cover back on, how tight does it have to be?

 

7 ft/lbs

Use a screwdriver with an attachment for a 8mm. They snap very easily, they dont need to be crazy tight. Also use HONDABOND on the edges.

 

Not tight at all. ~6 pound feet IIRC.

beat me to it...

 

good info!

 

nice

 

just use a 3/8 ratches and put the on snug not tight

you dont need a torque wrench or anything just dont go crazy on them

 

all you need is two fingers on a 3/8 drive. nice and easy.

Pretty easy to snap them, I wouldn't use a ratchet
