Replacing valve cover gasket and high-pressure pump valve cover seal. Do you know the torque sequence to tighten it? It is made of plastic and how much torque will it need? Thanks for any info into this.

Hi,

If you look below, I attached the directions specific to your vehicle for installing the valve cover. The directions include the torque specifications as well as the sequence for tightening.

Make sure not to over-tighten the bolts. Additionally, when you tighten them, it needs to be done in two steps.

Let me know if this helps or if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe
