Torque specs for valve cover bolts M119
I replaced my valve cover gasket and now it's leaking on both sides, I bought them at AutohausAZ (VR). Does anybody have the torque specs for me ? I think it's 9 NM but I can't find confirmation.

It is 9nm...not very much torque there but they only need to snug the gasket down.

Did you use new copper crush washers on the bolts?

tight
I tightened the bolts and used a little RTV in one of the corners and it's finally dry.
