Default b16a cam caps.....

Just to clarify, I need to know if the cam caps on a B16A are 16ft lbs on the 8mm and 7ft lbs on the 6mm? I have to replace my cam seal and I have only done this on a Ls motor. Thanks for any help.

off the top of my head(its been a while) i think the larger ones are 19lbs/ft and the smaller ones are 8lb/ft(if u even have a torque wrench that will go that low)

20 on the 8mm bolts. I just do a nice hand tight on the 6mm bolts since those are just for sealing purposes.

Do you use any lock tite? Well I guess 16-20 is not to much. I have a cheep torque wrench so I guess I'll just be guessing anyway. I need to find a web site that have the pages from the book.
