I got my fancy Mopar Performance valve covers and a set of T handles. I'm not sure I set the studs properly. When I start the engine the vibration makes the assembly come loose.

I put the studs in finger tight. I am afraid to bear down with the T handles because I don't want to ruin my valve covers. Is there a "torque spec" to tell me when to stop?

I am not wedded to the T handles, they are for convenience of installation (motor home, beats crawling around underneath to get the outboard ones). If I junk them, what's the best bolt option for a 1976 440 with 452 heads and Mopar Performance valve covers?

Thanks.
