Just wondering if someone could tell me the torque spec on the valve covers on a Pinz?

I am not sure of the specs but be careful not to crank down too hard I cracked mine and I thought I had the specs. I would like to know the specs also.

At the end of the repair manual in the appendix under torques.

Cylinder head cover, 15 Nm or 133 Lb/in.

Hope it help

That is quite a bit of torque for those. I have just tightened conservtavely and have had no leaks. After talking to JC he scared me into over tightening for sure.

I set mine to "snug".
