2001 LS valve cover gasket TORQUE SPECS

[trackin951]

I cannot find torque specs for a V8 using the search function at all. I would like to find out the torque pattern as well as the specs. Thanks in advance, I know this topic has been beaten to death.

Im sorry, but there is no way those can be 89 foot lbs of torque... Anyone else?

 

[Quik LS]

dude - read - lb-in as in INCHES - it's more like 7.5 lb-ft

We do not argue with Lou around here.

hey Quick do you have the specs for the v6 I'm doing VCG's this weekend and could really use something I could print out

That's 89 INCH pounds.
Just tighten it until it seats the cover against the cylinder head. You can feel it when its right.
