Hi guys,

I am having my rocker cover dipped and I have ordered new rubber gaskets and some flange sealant ready to put it all back together but does someone know what torque setting the torque wrench should be?

I have read some advice that you should just use a normal socket set and go finger tight and no more working diagonally along the rocker cover. This is because the bolts can break easy.

Other advice is it use a torque setting of 69 - 86lb which seems a large range.

Any advice greatfully appreciated.

I never have, as long as you're not a total plank you shouldn't snap a bolt. It doesn't have to be that tight, just nip the rubber :)
