I'm replacing the valve cover gasket; I need to know the correct torque sequence and spec for the bolts.

Hi,

I attached the directions for installing the valve cover. See pics below. When you do it, make sure that all the old sealant is removed.

Take a look at the directions and let me know if you have questions. Note that the directions do not indicate a sequence. In this type of case, start at center and working left to right, work your way out to the outside ones.

Take care,

Joe

See pcs below.

I'm going to replace the gasket on the vacuum pump as well, could you also share the directions for that?

Hi,

I attached the installation directions below. The torque is done in two steps. I highlighted the info in pic 3.

Let me know if this helps.

Take care,

Joe
