Going to replace the valve cover seals and o-rings around my spark plug wells tomorrow. I've got all of the parts, including the new washers for the valve cover bolts.

Only thing I don't have are the torque specs for the bolts. I figure they can't be more than 10ftlbs, as all the seals would distort if you over-torqued things...

I just want to make sure, otherwise I'm just going to snug the new ones up to about the point the current bolts are tightened to.

Car is a 2000 2.5RS.

Looks like 3.6ft-lbs to me...;)

That's what I thought...just nice and snug.

3.6 it is then!
