Title: torque on valve covers 292

Hi, does anyone know how many ft. pounds torque on tightening the valve covers on a 292?
Thanks,
Dave

Don't know but would guess it'd be inch/lbs, we're talking sheetmetal onto cork gaskets onto castiron, surely it can't be much. :unitedstates:

Boy I was wrong,try 2 to 2.5 foot lbs, found it at secondchancegarage.com, along with just about every other 312 spec you'd ever need. :unitedstates:
