Don't supposed you could change post #17 to keep all torque specs in the same units. The post says 10 nm for the valve cover and recommends 10 ft-lbs for the spark plugs. 10 is easy to remember but guess which units I remembered for the valve covers...the last one I read...so I wound up stripping the first valve cover bolt.
FYI, you can helicoil with the valve cover still on. I recommend using small pieces of tape wrapped around tweezers to get all the metal shavings out....repeat till no more shavings. __________________
