<VV> Torque values for valve covers?

[Sethracer at aol.com]

I bring my own torque wrench! With the bolt and all four "spreader bars" in 
 place, I tighten down each bolt until my fingernail will fit between the  
spreader bar and the valve cover right at the bolt location. That has worked 
for  me. On the race car, I use a stud and tall bolt with safety wire to 
the bolt  above/below. But I still tighten to the fingernail test. - It works.

Strange  you should ask, I just did one side of my '66 yesterday, however I 
did not  torque them when I put them back on, never have.  just snugged 
them back  up reasonably tight.   Same as I did on the pan bolts, cork gasket  
seeped a little, so snugged them up a little more.  Never thought about  
torqueing these  bolts

Hi, I am going to try to fix some push rod tube oil  leaks, changing the
valve cover as well. What are the torque values for  valve covers? Where can
I generally find corvair torque values? I have  steenkin' manuals but I
often don't read them... --  IV

Screwdriver snug... by  hand!   Value is in Manual...but I think is 
wrong....   basically you want 1 to 2  FT .   LB.    no  more!
