It's four E8 screws (see picture). The tighten torque is not available for me too. Personal preference here. This oil will weep from heat after you do the job and make it look like the VC is leaking again.

"Install 11 bolts w/ washers & grommets at cover perimeter, and 4 bolts/studs w/ washers & grommets at cover center (10mm socket 3/8" / 3/8" ratchet & extension). If you tighten it not hard enough you will see the engine leak. Reason: Automerged Doublepost. Spec is 89 in lb, 7. Use a 7/8 socket to press down on them to fully seat them. 1962 Springfield Gem. I've comapred between getting it hand tight and torquing it to the proper amount (I think it's something like 6-8 lb-ft) and the washers are compressed a lot more if you just hand tighten it. So i just tighten it so that it feel a little tight is OK. because it is just a valve's cover just to prevent the engine oil. N54 metal valve cover. That need to tighten to the specification of the manual. You don't have to remove injectors.

Yeah sounds like you stripped them somehow. I buy socks from Amazon. It's a slippery substance but is viscous. N54 valve cover torque specs. Can someone please tell me the torque specs of the screw around the valve cover, I am working on this right now that [IMG][/IMG]. Use bungie cords to pull the wire harness up off the motor. I believe it is very low. Use a small pick to pop them open (I used the 4 piece orange handle set from HF).

Before removing the heat shield, you may want to remove the boost solenoids. That's why the vcg was leaking? And you may have some stripped (. 1965 Jacobsen Chief 800.

1986 Oldsmobile 442. I remove it in my car already. It will likely be coated in oil and have oil in the bent sheet metal crevices. Remove the heat shield above the turbos and clean it up.

Using the glycerin (as spec'd) seems pretty smart. If it's in the budget, but a whole valve cover from FCPEuro. Then the solenoids can tilt forward and slide off their posts. Someone might have stripped them before you and just left'em in there that way. Lifetime warranty, don't have to worry about broken bolts, and you know it's not cracked from heat cycling.

"Fully tighten, 8Nm (6 ft-lb) (10mm socket 3/8" / 3/8" torque wrench & extension). So it's sticky enough to keep the gasket in the VC valley, but still slippery enough to prevent it from binding up when tightening (similar to lubing an oil filter gasket). "Tighten bolts/studs evenly working back and forth, assuring even pressure distribution on cover. I believe it is 10nm.

I'm wondering if it's the stud spinning. 2016 Chevy Silverado. Just be patient and don't go for the full torque right away. It took me ~5 passes before the bolts stopped loosening after I tightened the other bolts around them. Originally Posted by EsE46. Originally Posted by Martin 03 325i. Probably good general advice when working with plastic clips. The top nut must be completely removed, but the bottom one just needs to be removed ~80% of the way.

When removing plastic clips for the injectors, heat them up for 20-30 seconds with a hair dryer on high. 1967/77 Bolens 1054/G9. Otherwise I'd say you might have stripped either the srews or the holes/nuts. Let me check my bentley. For some reason 3 screws just keep turning and never tight? In other words, the nuts just bottom out. I don't see were hand tightened and torqued to specs. For future reference, over-torquing of valve cover bolts is a sure-fire way to get the gasket to leak. Valve cover screw torque specs? Thought I'd include some tips/trick I noticed while doing this over the weekend. From your valve's cover gasket and you jut tighten it up a little bit more. If you do have stripped holes I guess you best best would be re-threading if it's even possible given the location...
