torque

for some odd reason i cant remember what the torque settings are for the 10 mm bolts on the valve cover for civics with the d16y8 motor. any help would be appreciated, i usually dont make threads but i only do when i enquire a problem, that i cant remember the answer to. but for some odd reason the specs for these bolts have slipped my memory for some odd reason. please help an af vet out, i plan on stipping down my motor tomorrow and i need to know what these certain specs are. thank you. i feel dumb asking this but like i said the specs have slipped my mind.

For my Accord its 28 to 40 Ft-lbs.

the 5 or is it 6 little bolts right on the top of the valve cover, not sure is they are crown nuts but they are the 10 mm bolts on the very top of the valve cover.

Just go until they're tight, it's only a valve cover. 7-10lbs sounds about right.

ya i figured just go until they are tight. so i guess i will go with around 7 pounds of torque. thank you and i will post some pics after i am done with everything maybe.
