Replacing Valve Seals -- Torque

[Crosbo]

I am replacing the valve stem seals on my 89 300E over the long weekend...however I have not been able to find the torque specs for the bolts being removed and returned to accomplish the job...anyone have this info?

thanx--tom

If you mean the bolts that hold the rocker assemblies to the head it's 21Nm. Tighten the bolts as evenly as your patience allows.

Forgot to mention - keep track of the itty bitty ball sockets between the rocker arms and valve stems. Make sure they go back in the same location and position.
