Dude its a valve cover. Tighten till snug then do a quarter turn. Ur not gunna break anything if its not within spec. It's a valve cover. ***edit it shows at 75 ft/lbs.*** seems a bit much to me. Just do snug and a quarter

I'd agree. specific torque on that I certainly wouldn't think be to large a deal. Like he said, it's a valve cover. Did you have to get a new gasket or was it salvageable? (jw, I'm taking mine off to paint soon)

i reused mine. i took it off when i took off the valve cover then put it back on right before i put the cover back on

I found the torch specs

spc2125 · 09-15-2011, 09:18 PM

here it is so far. I havent put back on the ecotec plate yet. But im also gunna see what it looks like a month from now. If it stays non chipped (i did use clear coat) then ill take it off again and do a design.

I have a mini breather filter and i was wondering if i put it attached to the cam cover, what will i need to do with the side that has the hose running to the intake?

cap it

Papa Rad17 · 09-15-2011, 11:04 PM

I have wanting to put on a breather to! how would I we go about capping it? and nice paint man! I'm going to do mine red to match the calipers, just my valve cover its self though.

spc2125 · 09-17-2011, 04:04 PM

i capped the side thats on the intake, but there isnt enough room to fit the breather filter on snuggly. the metal bar (sorry im a noob, whats that called) is keeping the filter from going on all the way.

any ideas?

Papa Rad17 · 09-18-2011, 02:12 AM

how did you go about capping it?
