ive seen a few like that there is a specific torque setting for these, if your fingers survive the rocker cover and your looking for anything else polished i do an exchange on plenums, rocker covers and fuel reals etc.

what if you havent got a torque wrench? Buy one.... you can cause some serious damnage by not torqueing them up correctly.
