I intend to replace the valve cover (in EPC called cylinder head cover). There are 15 screws in three types (1 srcew at the back, 3 between the spark plugs and 11 on the side ). What are the torque specs for them?

Thanks!

I assume you're talking about the M104 in the other thread. I'm not 100% certain but I think they only get tightened to 10Nm (about 7.5 to 8 Ft-lbs).

Too bad , my big expensive digital torque wrench starts at 30 ft-lbs, need to find a smaller one. Yes, the engine is M104.980 from my 1990 300CE. Thanks
