Default Torque Specs?????

OK, I posted about my leaking rocker boxes a few days ago and today I have the gaskets so I'm gonna try to install them tonight. Only problem is my service manual probably won't be here for another week or so but the leak is getting worse so I want to fix it now. Does anyone know what the bolts are supposed to be torqued to???

I found it for you. Go to search and type in rocker box. It will be the post of a man named Levy.

Well, I got the gaskets put on tonite!! It wasn't too bad, I did the rear cylinder first and it wasn't real fun because theres no room to work in there. Then I did the front one and it was easy!! The hardest part of the whole ordeal was scraping the old gaskets off!! If you are leaking oil then this is a must do fix!!!!
