Torque specs. for valve covers and camshaft bearing cap bolts???

[tta197]

Anyone that has a helm manual, could you post what the torque values for the valve covers and camshaft bearing cap bolts are? I tried looking around on the internet and found: 71-106 in lbs. for valve cover bolts and the same torque for camshaft bearing caps. Is this correct? Thanks, I'm going to try to retorque the camshaft bearing caps to see if I can eliminate the valvetrain tapping noise my engine has. It seems that this has cured this problem for a few owners already. Thanks, Nicholas.

I'm in the middle of moving right now, my manual is at my new place. I'll be back online sometime Monday, if no one has responded I'll post 'em for ya.

Valleyman, thanks I appreciate. Petrograde thanks also for offering.
I'll post what happens, hopefully it will fix it.
