It's all about the torque, baby! Posted by Saabpilot [Email] (#134) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Saabpilot) on Sun, 25 Jul 2004 10:55:01 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Finally got my shiny new red valve cover installed properly with no oil leaks! Thanks to those who provided advice.
I had a ten dollar torque wrench from Harbor Freight Tools. Great company for cheap tools but not for something important like this. It is now in the trash can. A 'real' torque wrench purchased from my local Home Depot did the trick at getting a precise 11 foot pounds of torque on each bolt. Ran the car up to temperature for about 20 minutes and no oil leaks! Guess that Saab continuum is upset again....
