don't torque the vavle cover nuts... just tighten them to german spec- goot 'n' tite

I've seen plenty of people snap them while attempting to torque them.

Yep, like Anthony said; just do it "Gutentite"!

The valve cover bolts should be tightened down to right when they get tight and "catch". Just nice and hand tight.

The TB nuts should be tightened down just a bit tighter.
