Sorry Dusty but your off a foot pound! doh! It's 33 footpounds and the valve cover they tell you to tighten them (securely) I almost stripped one out torquing them to 10 pounds use a small socket rachet(1/4) drive for mimimal leverage. And try to tighten both the head and valve cover in a criss cross pattern of course. Hope this helps.

I wouldn't go too much over about 60 in/lbs on the rocker cover bolts. A good mechanic knows where to set his "elbow" torque wrench! lol:p
