Rocker cover replacement how tight?

[Zeldoz]

Painting my rocker cover in the morning.

I don't have a torque wrench. Only ratchets. How hard should I retighten it! Don't wanna overdo it or not do it enough!

[mikey4410]

Its not something u can explain,otherthan to specified torque which of the top of me head is 5 or 8 nm.

[TurboTobz]

It's hard to say, but just take the slack up and gently drive it until you feel some tension it's not really as important as internals to torque

[daniel_g]

Use a 1/4 drive ratchet then, tighten all the bolts equally aswell. As in screw them all down finger tight, then a bit more on each with the ratchet.

[TurboTobz]

Use a breaker bar, trolololol. (Please don't lol)

[daniel_g]

Want a shot of my 3/4 drive 900 Nm air gun to do em up ??

[TurboTobz]

No, a shot of vodka would be nice though

[daniel_g]
