if its leaking, and the gasket is in good condition, its not tight enough...
its only like a m4 bolt if that, dont swing off it.
firm but not tight...as they say
Torgue Settings?
Just wondering if the 16v Bigport 4AGE Tappet Cover has a torque setting on the bolts?

Not leaking, Just wanted to take it off and Paint it that's all lol, Thanks for the quick response.
No torque setting as such. As a M6 nut/stud, the default setting is about 4 - 8 ft.lb depending on strength. But on a cam cover, only enough to make the seals squish a bit.
When I had an apprentice, I used to clamp a few 6mm bolts tight in the vice. I would then give them a 10mm socket and ratchet, and tell them to turn the heads till they snapped off. So then you know, on a real car they should not be as tight.
