I couldn't stand the flimsy stamped valve covers because they always where bent so all my mopars have cast ones.


A factor manual would be nice but I'm not about to pay top dollar for one and couldn't find the cd version of it for my year...I don't remember if someone gave me a link to something in another thread but I'm confident the bolts are 40 inch lbs. The nuts and studs are all specified in the Haynes Manual.
I have the stamped covers... I'm thinking of making some 'spreader bars'...
