Can you please provide the torque spec and sequence for the Valve cover gasket on the v6 3.3l engine. If you have a full guide on the replacement that wouldn't hurt and be helpful!

Hi,

I believe I responded to this on a different thread. LOL As far as directions are concerned, the removal and replacement directions only provide the torque sequence and torque specifications I sent.

Just in case, I attached that information below.

Let me know if this helps or if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe

See pic below. Note: When removing the covers, it is a good idea to follow the sequence below in reverse order.
