Valve cover bolt Torque specs needed....

[mikeviera]

I have a 1988 4x4 I6 jeep comanche.... I am going to replace the Valve cover gasket. Would anyone happen to know what the torque specs are? I went through the search to see if anyone had posted anything and couldn't find it. I am a noob to the forum... if there is anything else that i need to add, just let me know... Thanks in advance.

Haynes manual says 28 in-lbs if you're using RTV or 55 in-lbs if you're using a permanent gasket.

 

Or do what I did and snug them up with a 1/4 inch ratchet. :thumbsup:

And add.........after you run it a few time, cold/hot/cold, check the torque, them little 1/4" bolts like to work loose real easy :fs1:

 

Oh, and welcome newbie :waving:
