I took it off and simply hand tightened ... must have been a mistake because oil must now be leaking b/c the oil light has been flickering on & off since I changed my valve cover.

Thanks!!!

 

I'll take an educated guess here at between 10 - 15 ft lbs.

 

I replaced my valve cover with a polished one too.. I just use my hand to torque it down. Mines leakin too. That's cuz I noticed that the gasket wasn't alighned right. I order a new gasket from DaveB. Should be here today.

 

Note that the LH and the RH are different torque values.

 

I would seriously doubt that it could leak enough to lose oil pressure but you not notice a HUGE puddle under the car. Check your oil level, you are probably 2 quarts low. If the level is o.k., check your oil pressure sending unit.

 

Notice..it's IN-LB. DO NOT TRY USE FT-LB torque wrech.
