Need help with the torque specs for the valve cover bolts on my 2.2L LS Panel. Replacinf the valve cover with a powered coat one and do not have the specs. If anyone could be of help it will make my install easier. Thanks for reading this plea for help!!!

Per Helm manual the torque for these bolts is 89 lb/in. Make sure you realize these are inch/pounds. Hope this helps.

Found this from SoCal : Grap a ratchet and torque all the valve cover hold down bolts down fully until they stop - no torque values are needed, they just bottom out. There are rubber iso washers under each bolt and once the threads bottom, that's it.
I would feel safer with what the Shmoo came up with.
