    I don't know a specific torque, but all I ever use is a nutdriver! If they're too loose, you can always snug them a teense more. If they're too tight you've bent the rocker cover and it will leak like a b-ch! :)

    My rule of thumb was to tighten them evenly stepping them down. Stop tightening when you see the first signs that the gaskets start to protrude out. Done.
