Torque specs for oil filter cover??

[zerolm]

Anyone have the torque specs for the three little bolts that hold the oil filter cover on? Thanks in advance...........

7lbs should be fine but no more! Manual doesn't have the torque specs for it and 7lbs is what I've been using for my LTZ400.

Whatever you do don't trust the cheap torque wrenches from Harbor Freight. I stripped 3 cam journal bolts and a couple of chain adjustment bolts because of one of those cheap pieces of crap and it was brand new. I now own a dial torque wrench that works GREAT.

Who knows though maybe I got a lemon when I bought the Harbor Freight wrench.
