Valve covers, torque?
Two questions from a flat-six newbie: is the "turbo" valve cover upgrade really worth it (2.4 NOT currently leaking)? and.....what should the covers be torqued to (original and turbo type)?
Thanks, Randy |

If they aren't leaking I would wait as you have nothing to gain. The torque spec is 6 ft lbs regardless of the type cover.

Thanks walt...as I am about to do a valve adjust, I thought this might be the time to upgrade rather than risk creating a leak...it also has been suggested that the upgraded covers provide some additional cooling. Does this make sense?
Thanks |

Any additional cooling they do would have to be minimal because the gasket creates a thermal barrier between them and the cam tower but atleast they can only help.
