Hi all new to this forum , im looking for some help with my 05 civic type r , i have broke the top off my cam retainer bolt the one i have broke there are six of them they are the ones that have a thread on top to hold the rocker cover down , so i have one on order but im wondering what torque this should be done to , also do i need to undo all these bolts and then do them up in sequence or can i get away with just changing the one i broke , thanks for any help with this matter .

 

I'm trying to picture which bolt you broke.. but I'm having troubles off top of my head right now.


Do you have a photo by chance?

 

Not sure how to post a pic , but the bolt im question holds the camcoverdown, so it goes into the cam retainers but it also as a thread on top to put ur lug nut onto to pull down the rocker cover , i broke this thread cos it only needs min amount of torque , im just wondering how much torque the other end needs to hold the cam retainers in place , thanks for any help

 

Can anybody help with this please

 

Any help i would be gratefull

 

I believe only like 20ft lbs.

I usually just hand tighten those tight. I know sounds bad but I've done plenty of cam instals and no issues.

 

Thanks mate
