Valve cover torque 615?(three bolt cover)

I did a search but did not find anything on 615 valve cover specs. A friend told me 5nm about 3.6ft lb is this correct? I have the three bolt valve cover.

Not sure for your model, but probably don't need to go over 10nm.

I don't have any info for that model, but if the cover is aluminum, there won't be any, (torque values) there isn't any for a 616 or 617.

FSM says 15 NM for valve cover nuts (616,617)

ref. 05-210
------------

EDIT - bolts for 615 valve cover get 5NM, nuts get 15NM
