Torque spec for 993 valve cover gasket?

[ron in sc]

Does anyone have a link to published valve cover gasket torque spec. I even have workshop manual and can not seem to find it.

Generally speaking torque spec for a 6mm grade 8.8 with dry threads is 7 ft. lbs., which is 9.5 nm. I have a few torque wrench and I'd prefer to torque to spec.

7 ft. lbs seems a little high to me for this application.

It is in the workshop manual, I had to look it up before. I can't recall what it is but I remember having trouble finding a torque wrench that went that low.

That's the same thing my generic chart shows for bolt of that size and grade.

I found in workshop manual page 15-9 the camshaft assembly diagram but it is missing the identification of the gasket cover bolts. It hows the holes just nothing identifying them.

7ft/lbs like the rest of the fasteners that are the same size.
