valve cover install
So recently I've managed to crack my valve cover when reinstalling it. So I have to order a new one. My question is, how many lbs. of trq. do I put on the bolts so I dont crack this new one. I tried searching, but couldn't find anything. Thanks for the help.

30in/lbs or 3 ft/lbs - basically light hand.
