valve shim change

Post by Darrel & Deanna » Wed May 17, 2000 11:42 pm

John- I just snug the valve cover bolts after applying a little hi-temp silicone on the gasket (left side of engine). It's not a critical torque spec like the head bolts or the like. Caution: the valve cover bolts strip out easily... Darrel A12 Avenger From: John Laybolt Has anyone replaced shims and buttoned everything up without a torque wrench? I really can't wait the 2+ weeks for mine to get here. I'm leaving for Alaska in 4 weeks and still have to finish my break in. Currently disabled at 800KM. John
