There are valve cover bolts around the perimeter of the valve cover. You want these tight but not as tight as you can get them.
The bolts on a 94 Dodge Intrepid valve cover need to be very tight. You should tighten to 12 N*m or 105 inch pounds.
46-50 ft.lbs. 46-50 ft.lbs.
15 to 20 inch pounds should do it, or what feels tight with your fingers.
most valve gaskets should be tightened with i believe about 1- 3 lbs of torque,however most torque wrenches don't go that low so barring a wrench just good and hand tight will suffice,be warned that too tight will shear off your valve cover bolts and trust me that's a pain
The 2001 Nissan valve cover bolt torque specification is 45 pounds. The valve cover bolts should be torqued in 15 pound intervals.
Just did mine on my 300 cu in Ford 1982. Remove any parts that might be in the way, breather, gas line over the valve cover etc. Remove the bolts around the outside of the valve cover. Remove valve cover. Remove old gasket. Clean valve cover. Install new gasket and re-install cover. Replace bolts. Finger tight bolts first then tighten. If you do not have a torque wrench, carefully tighten down bolts alternating from one side to the other tightening them all down evenly. Do not overtighten, they will snap off into the head.
Take off the valve cover. there is about 8 to 12 bolts. just take it off and take off the old gasket, then clean off old gasket residue with a razor knife, then install the new one and put the cover back on. the bolts dont need to be extremely tight.
The 2000 Mazda 1.8 liter engine valve cover torque specification is 45 pounds. The valve cover bolts should be torqued in 15 pound intervals.
Your head bolts are located under your valve cover. Take your valve cover off and you will see them. Hope this info. helped.
They don't usually need any special effort, but a little loctite 242 would help.
