hmmm what if its hand tight unevenly..what happens there?

 

Leaking oil...

 

Its not hard. Just make it snug. And keep going around. When you do 1 of the front 4 it will probably make the other 3 loose. So make sure to keep going around the bolts.

I don't think 10-12 or 15 ft lbs is right for the valve cover. Should be 0.7- 2.2 ft. lbs. 8-10 will likely pull the threads right out of the head.

 

Barely wrist tight. As the gasket compresses over time, just snug them down with it.
