Torque specs and bolt pattern for 4.0 Valve Cover?
Does anyone know the torque specs and the boltr pattern for the 4.0 Valve cover?

It's a 93 with a 4.0.

I plan on using gasket sealer, etc but I was wondering what the factory settings are.....

Looks like 80 Inch lbs for the cover bolts or 9 N.m.....

I have a factory service manual in PDF so its a little hard to find these things.

Still hoping to find a sequence.....

I guess if I can't find one I should just crisscross from the inside to the outside.

93 is a steal valve cover, you should get the gasket, but its expenive for the newer years, reuable gasket tho. i beleive the 87-90 cork gaskets fit, and are about $6

as far as specs, never had one leak just jumping around w/ my 1/4" air ratchet

Ended up using the cork gasket and put RTV on both sides. Hopefully that will make a good seal.

Probably shoulda done that.....the cork gasket has me a little worried.
