scott87 Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 I can't seem to find an exact answer anywhere. But I'm lookin for the torque setting for the can cover on a non vvti na. Also if someone could confirm that the na has just one large gasket that would be great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott87 Posted June 23, 2013 Author Share Posted June 23, 2013 Ok thanks. I was told that but then other sources have said 5 and a few higher..... I will be working it out by eye then so to speak. Far to low for the wrench I have here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Its a rubber seal so only needs nipping up, too tight and it will split Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Whatever you nip them up to/with I would go back a few days/engine heat cycles later and test they are still tight... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott87 Posted June 23, 2013 Author Share Posted June 23, 2013 Cool thanks. Just wanted to gauge how tight I would have to do it by hand. hopefully it will stop raining so I can so it today. Also if anyone can confirm the blueprint part ADT36744 is the correct gasket? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Over tightening them is more likely to crack the cam cover than split the seal. 8 NM is bugger all and will be easily over tightened, use a 1/4 drive ratchet gently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott87 Posted June 23, 2013 Author Share Posted June 23, 2013 The blueprint part number i quoted above is the correct part. The old gasket didn't really seem in that bad a condition, just a little flatter than the new one. Anyway torqued it down, slightly higher than 8nm and all is well. Also managed to paint the cam covers, plug cover and throttle body whilst i was at it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

berg Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Thought they were individual gaskets for each cover? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott87 Posted June 23, 2013 Author Share Posted June 23, 2013 Thought they were individual gaskets for each cover? Yer it is 2 rectangle gaskets, Was just the picture that was misleading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
