What torque do i need to tighten the rocker cover bolts too for a b series?

Also is it any order?

Thanks
 
Don't know the exact torque spec but the rocker cover doesn't need to be reallyyy tight. Don't force them but just nip them up tight, comfortably past hand tight.

Just for clarity, you literally mean by hand or spanner/ratchet them down to a point where they don't turn without forcing them to?

As in with a ratchet nip it up past hand tight so you can't crack it loose with your fingers. But don't go reallyyy forcing it tight if you know what I mean. The threads can be stripped quite easily.

It's important to get all 8 points tightened to spec to avoid unnecessary damage to the threads. It also applies the correct balance just like your wheel nuts.
