Greetings all 02 fanatics:
I have a persistent seep at the passenger side edge of the valve cover on
our 1600ti. A new valve cover gasket was installed during the last valve
adjust. I tightened the valve cover nuts to "tight enough" ie by feel, not
wanting to bust off the studs from the head. Looks like its not enough. I
have a 3/8" torque wrench with a minimum torque value of 20 ft-lbs. Ready
to apply the correct amount of torque, if I only knew what it was!
Checked Haynes, couldn't find it. O-bmw-digest, you're my only hope...
Thanks,
Mike
