hey guys just wanted to make a real quick thread. I've looked everywhere for some torque specs on the valve cover for sport models. Im posting this thread bc I had no lukc over the whole net not ust here. SO... does any one know the spec? Or mabey the spec for the 2.0 4 banger valve cover? I read a few people saying they put their 1.6 on just by hand to about tight? seems a little worrying to me and would like to put some torqued measurement on it rather then just winging it. Any help is appreciated.

Over on Acks Faq they have a 96 FSM, it rates it to 89 lb. in. or 10 Nm. It is listed in the FSM as Cylinder Head Cover Bolts.

On the 2.0, the FSM calls for 8.0 lb-ft on the cylinder head cover nuts - there are slight differences in the covers - but you should be safe with that.
I don't think my torque wrench goes that low.

Harbor Freight has a sale on the 3/8" Torque Wrenches that read in inches. :D

The nearest Harbor Freight is about 3500 miles north west of me - and - as much as I like visiting Harbor Freight, I'm a little sceptical about buying precision tools from them - but I will take a look.

I think thats my best bet. Thank you for putting that on, definetly tired of hunting. Im used to dealing with in. lbs torques at work, so i have no relation to lb-ft. If yours doesn't go that low? What kind of tight are we talking here? I dont own a torque wrench so it would be nice to know before investing in one.

Snug is how I would term it, rather than tight - what you want is just enough pressure on the gasket to deform it so that it seals, and not enough to warp the cover.
