Rocker Cover Bolts - Torque Settings.

[CraigW]

As above really,

What torque should the bolts be torqued up too??

Taking mines off for painting, hopefully next week when I'm off work.

Also what temperature will the rocker cover roughly reach when the engine reaches operating tempeture?? Just wondered as the Enamel paint I've got is resistant up to 120.C

Thanks all,

Craig.

I just did them up tight, until i couldnt turn the ratchet anymore without using a bit of force. cba with all that torque stuff lol. I didn't replace the gasket as the old one wasn't cracked or broken.

Already got the rocker cover gasket. The one I got doesnt have the 3 rubber grommets for the screws on top.

EnGbudd, What did your rocker cover gasket look like?? I definetely have the right part it just looks weird.

Erm the 3 little rubbers actualy slip into the holes on the rocker cover. The gasket should be just be rectangle and the sides should arc up.

Sounds like I have the right thing then. Im just going to replace mine when I take my rocker cover off for painting.
