VALVE COVER GASKET BOLTS

[mig25]

Does anybody have a picture from the Bentley manual to post here with the torque specs and torque sequence for valve cover o M54 engine?
I did a search, I find conflicting information on the torque.
I have yet to see the tightening sequence.
Thank you.

PM me your email or phone number, if you have a smartphone It will be easier for me to just send you a picture text messages with pages, you can import them in to your PC or view from there...

The torque spec on those bolts is something like 22 in. lb. You can make these bolts tight with a nut driver, and certainly they can be over tightened with a 1/4" socket handle.

6 ft lbs. And no more. I broke one when I missed hearing the click of my torque wrench

Bentley says 10 Nm/89 in-lb

For the life of me - I can figure out which one is the Head Cover Bolt...

[Ricky Bobby]

#5 - #6 is the rubber grommet needing to be replaced

89 in. lb. is the right spec. I think I called out 22 earlier, that's too low. But still, you can do this with a nut driver or a 1/4" drive handle. DO NOT USE A FT. LB. TORQUE WRENCH HERE, such a wrench will be working at the very bottom end of its adjustable range, where it will be not very accurate. If you are going to use a "not so accurate" tool, just use a 1/4" drive handle and calibrate your wrist. 89 in. lb. will put you at about 7 ft. lb.

Yesterday someone sent me a PM with the specs from Bentley manual sayin 89 in.
I do have few torque wrenchs one which is in inches.
I have also bought the valve cover kit Victor Heinz it comes with the gaskets and the groomets for all bolts.
Thanks all for your input. Much appreciated.
