[Roadsters] Torque for Valve Cover...

[Patti Dwinell]

Yeah, don't do it!  Nice and snug by hand. You'll know if it's not quite tight enough. because it will leak.  I torqued to specs and cracked my cover.  Finding a replacement (that's in good shape, for a reasonable price) is not that easy.

11/16ths nuts for the valve cover of an SPL 311, R-16?  (new gasket, 
carefully cut from 1/8th" thick NAPA rubberized cork, leaks with 5 
ft-lbs, but I don't want to crack cover!)

Thanks,
