Default Re: Valve cover leak...

when following dedwards advice using plated steel bolts for the breather covers we can increase torque to twice compared to aluminum bolts, hence reducing the possibility of leaks.
see chart: https://www.holo-krome.com/uploads/7...edatachart.pdf
here shows that torque for M5 is 12Nm (about 10 ft-lb) , double the figure advised for aluminum bolts (6Nm)
and no more breaking bolts again.
