So I decided to change the cylinder cover bolts because the ones that are on there are stripped to hell. I know the bolts have to be torqued down and I checked the TSRM, but Im not sure if I got the right number.

I found this number, 25(22 in.-lb, 2.5)


Here is the pgs I found it on:

If these arent the correct numbers please let me know what its suppose to be. Im not replacing the bolts until I know I have the correct number. Thanks for the help.

22 in/lbs is correct...where people screw this up and snap a bolt off is they torque to 22 ft/lbs. Huge difference ;)
An internal star washer between the bolt head and the seal gromment will keep the bolt from loosening up.
