I need the Valve cover gasket Torque Specs for a 1994 plymouth acclaim 4cyl. Also does that have the tin valve cover because i am worried i might have to bend it back to shape since I believe it was over tightened when the gasket was replaced last, and that is what has caused this leak.

Thank you

Yes, I recommend you pean the bolt holes in the opposite direction. Also, what type of gasket are you using? If it is cork, chances are you will overtighten it again and it will leak. Try to get a composite gasket. Also, stay away from all rubber.
