I took mine off to install my lt's and i put them on but i dont have a torqe wrench deal so i tighted them pretty damn good because i filled it with oil and some was leaking can i over tighten then and if so how can i tell with out a torqe wrench!

 

Do your covers still have the supports inside? If so, then you may wanna go back and retighten the bolts.

I had to cut the supports out of mine, to get the rockers to fit. After that, they always leaked. I eventually bought some better covers.

 

No i mean i got them on and every thing seemed alright but i was just asking to make sure, i ran it for a few mineuts and nothing was wrong but i read just now im supposed to torqe them to 107FT pounds? I was wondering not sure if that is alot or not but i might had over tightened them

 

So they are, or are not leaking?

If they are not leaking, I wouldn't mess with anything.

If they are leaking, I would try to retighten all the bolts. They can loosen up after a heat cycle. I had to retighten mine, after I got the car to operating temps and let it cool back off.

edit: 107FT lb? You TQ lugnuts to 100ft lbs, not VC bolts. Who said 107 for VC bolts?

 

the left side/passenger side is leaking sence i took it off, my dad said to buy a new valve cover gasket but im not sure if i have to? I have them pretty damn tight i mean good in tight but it still leaks some!

 

They should not need excessive tightening. Put your valve cover on a level surface to see if you have warped it.
