planning to change the rocker cover gasket either tommorow or friday but was wondering if there is a specific amount to tighten up the two bolts holding down the rocker cover? ie:
is it torqued up? if so how tight?
do the bolts "bottom out"?
all help much appreciated :y: but cannot be repped because of my crap pc :bash:

you did mean 10nm and not 100nm?

just for example, that wrench only goes as low as 28nm and most bolts on tools that are set up at my work are 30nm im sure and thats not exactly that tight...
