bolt on valve cover question ?

[tat99]

i have a set of manx alum. valve covers. they came with a empi bolt kit and no instructions. are there any torque specs? do you have to switch mounting bolts one at a time? where do the orings go? or is there anything i need to know? where would be the best location on the valve cover for bolt in breather tubes? thanks in advance for your help.

Mine are not manx covers, but they are bolt on aluminum. You replace the rocker arm nuts with the coupler nuts that I think come with the kit, you will have to re torque the rockers, should adjust your valves, the O ring goes over the bolts on the inside of the covers, between the coupler nuts and the valve cover. My breather is at the flywheel end, seems to work good. My valve covers have a cast in boss, I drilled a hole there, and screwed in a barbed brass fitting. Hope this helps.
