Whats the torque for the valve cover on a 3SGE? My Haynes manual just said to do it until it is snug?
i do it until it stops spinning freely, plus quarter turn. the threads aren't that strong on the head so be careful! this is one of those cases where less is better then check once every few days and tighten loose ones.
Has anyone ever thought of replacing those screw head fasteners with a allen head style, I want to change mine out with something like this.... http://www.fastenal.com/web/product...tSearch&rfqXref=&rfqKeyword=&rfqId=&rfqLineId= Not the exact size, but gives you an idea of what is availible! racerb :science
i replaced mine with regular bolts. then i kept over tightening them, resulting in leaks. went back to the ole phillips type with some blue locktight and a #3 screw driver and havent had any issues.
