3.0 Cam Covers, how tight?
« on: 18 April 2008, 12:05:21 »
Should be replacing the cam cover gaskets this evening (if Vauxhall ever get my parts in).

Does anyone know what the torque settings (in NM) are for the gaskets?



Cheers folks :)

Absolutely. 8nm seems nothing but it is enough.

If Torque meter doesnt go that low then its basically a touch more than hand tight...
