[ccf460]

I am about to go nuts, been looking through the tm's for this simple piece of information. I did a search and looked at tm TM 9-2815-210-34-2-1, but can't find didly. Can someone throw me a bone here?

I just snuged mine using a middle to end cross tightening pattern.If they dont leak your good to go.

TM 9-2320-361-34, Sec 3-6. ROCKER ARM COVERS REPLACEMENT (Contd), page 3-17.

Step 8, Tighten lockscrews (2), (13), and (10) and locknut (29)30 lb-in. (3.4 N.m). Repeat tightening until 50-60 lb-in. (5.7-6.8 N.m) is achieved.

Does not specify any pattern but like Ray said above I also use the "middle to end cross tightening pattern".

I just snugged them (I don't have a lb./inch torque wrench. Hopefully it is tight enough, if not I will adjust to stop leakage.
