Inliners International Forums General Discussion Engines valve cover gasket

im replacing the leaky valve cover gasket on my 250 and was wondering what should i torque the bolts to?
its a cork gasket

Good & snug with a "speed handle" 3/8" drive.
1/4" cap screws don't have a torque setting.

If you use sealer of the cover side & hi-temp grease on the head side you can R&R it several times W/O a new one.

Good luck, John M.......

Malicer,

My '67 spec says 55 in-lb. I just do what John suggests, snug with a nut driver.
