scott87 Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 I'm just about to swap the rocker gasket in my 1995 non turbo and was wondering if someone could tell me what I should torque the cover back down to? Also I assume there is nothing 'special' that needs to be done, it is just a straight swap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 (edited) Check the WSM engine mechanical pdf for the GE engine, pretty sure the torque figures are in there. The cam covers crack quite easily so be careful, this is why you should use a new seal/gasket as it will seal even at such low torque unlike the seal once its old and gone hard. People tend to just keep tightening the cover down when they leak which is risky and not the best thing to do as the old seal has no give in it.

Scooter Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 not sure on that but I would say that I re torqued the bolts a few days after first doing this it seemed to settle/bed in a bit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve A Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Just doing this job as we speak and I have the 16 washers but can't find any reference to where they go are they to go on the bolts or underneath the covers? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berg Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 From what ive seen the GE kits dont come/require the washers parts, i bought the blueprint gaskets set that scott87 has i9n this thread and no rubber washers came with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
