    [4] [2]

    86lb of torque shit that is like a meesed up b16's torque.

    Dude put them on in anyway make sure your gasket's are not messed up. tourque them down but not hella tight. Also if you break one stud that is a bastard to fix.

    I've taken it straight from the Haynes. The Haynes for the B16 motor is sitting right in my lap. How do you think I knew the torque sequence? That's what it's supposed to be.

    And do you even know what 86 in lbs of torque feels like? It's not that much.

    Ok i'm gonna make your HAYNES service manual put to rest.

    The torque is 7.2ft/lbs on those valve cover bolts.

    Brought to your by the acura/honda service manual. On my desk.
    I dare you to try 86lbs on your shit.

    the nuts are 6x1.0 mm

    the only thing they got right is the sequence.

    Alright, you guys really need to read. Put you Honda service manual away because 86 in lbs of torque is 7.167 foot lbs of torque which is nearly the same as your 7.2 foot lbs of torque.

    And just to verify that my original post was correct:

    Wow, I never said just pounds. And if you meant to say Inch LBS...that's kinda funny, cause I use 3 different torque wrenches everyday at work that read inch lbs.
