Got FSM? Quick question =)
Morning gentlemen (and ladies),
Took my valve cover off, started the process of painting it, then had breakfast knowing that I was going to use my FSM to retorque the valve cover blots to spec... problem is, for some reason I thought I already had a 240SX S14 FSM! I DON'T! I glanced at my FSM from my old car (95 200SX SE-R) and in my head it clicked "got FSM... kay it's Crunchberries time!"
So uh yeah... heh... I need the bolt order and torque specs for the valve cover on a KA24DE
my bad!

Here's the tightening order, couldn't find the torque specs though. I looked up the pic from the fsm and uploaded it to my site, here you go.

Thanks a bunch doc... I got the torque specs by calling the Nissan service bay...
irax, the concept of tightening wheels in a certain order (to evenly distribute the load) is the same with a valve cover - but to seal it properly

Torque specs are 12-14 lbs.ft. for the valve bolts... just in case someone finds this thread in a search
