small block 350 valve covers
Hey there everybody. I plan on painting my valve covers Chevy orange this weekend, along with new valve cover gaskets. I was just wondering if there are any torque specs on the valve covers. Because what I'm thinking is you want to "crush" your gaskets juuuust the right amount. Thanks for you input #weekendwarrior

If we are talking about stamp steel 4 bolt perimiter I have my own thought. I like to snug down the lower aft then lower fwd then the uppers. On cast just go around equally. I also like the FelPro gaskets with the insert that's prevents over squeeze of the gasket
