Anyone have the valve cover torque specs for 2.3. Googled and came up with nothing. Using the felpro rubber gasket.

All set to remove cover. Going to wait for one of my sons to help line it all up. Hoping that EGR tube is going to be out of the way enough to position cover back in

I went with felpro blue rubber gasket. Hasn’t been on long but not leaking now.
