Hi all back again I'm in need of the torque settings for the valve cover for my akl engine as I am going to have to replace the gasket because I am getting a slight oil leak dripping on to the heat shield.

Just go by feel.

I've never torqued a valve cover in my life.

Tight enough that it stays on, not so tight it damages threads

Pretty sure that's what is says in autodata as well, can check if you want though...
