It's not critical. Just tight the bolts enough not to get lose by vibration and to let the cover press on the seal. Dont overtight, the cylinder head is made of aluminum which is very easy to damage the thread in, especially considering that the bolts are very narrow. M. Scosyrev.
Torque for valve cover bolts is 7 to 10 ft. Lbs . Tighten the bolts in a criss-cross pattern .
35 foot pounds
It is positioned in the valve cover.
143 lb ft of torque for the 1990 model. 148 lb ft of torque for the 1991-1992. Of the Stanza models, the 1992 is widely considered the closest to a fwd version of the 240sx benefiting in large part by the later refinements to engine/transmission dynamics. As such, these vehicles were highly successful in other counties, where driving conditions warranted that type of power/torque to be directed to the front wheels. Of the 240sx/Silvia and the Stanza/Pintara, the Stanza/Pintara was the more popular and sold in higher numbers when compared on a world platform.
typically in the valve cover.
its on the back of the valve cover.
the torque specs for valve covers on the 3.0 SOHC is 7ft/lb make sure to clean the oil and old gasket material off well and put the RTV in the corners. take great care not to roll the gasket on the rear valve cover!
Torque converter cotrol.
In the middle of the valve cover nearest the firewall.
As with all valve gaskets it is located between the valve cover and the head. To get to it you undo all bolts holding the valve cover on and then pull valve cover off. you will find it on the valve cover/ head contact point.
remove the 10mm bolts from the edges and clean all surfaces VERY CLEAN and replace gasket and then torque the bolts back not sure of the lbs to torque to good luck it is not hard to do
