Thank you for the response. This car has be fighting me the entire way. I hope these specs are accurate for my 4cyl. And what is the sequence in wich to torque them down? If you are getting it from a Manuel could you please link a picture? I need to get this done today the 5th. It’s just about 8am here I ga. Thanks again.
I personally am not sure if there is a tightening sequence for something like the timing cover. Most of the time if I’m tightening something of that size with that many bolts I just start in the center going furthest bolt to the left then furthest bolt to the right, then I go up to the next two bolts, then down to the next two bolts under the center line I started on, then up to the next two above the upper ones I tightened after the center point and i keep doing that until I have it evenly tightened. Also you don’t have to, but I do it to be safe, I will first tighten the bolts just snug like 5-10 foot pounds, and after I finish with the first sequence of tightening them lightly I go back and finish tightening them to spec, this ensures no side of what I’m tightening gets too tight right off the bat and binds, it may be overkill but I’ve never had an issue doing it this way so I figure it must be working.

I know it’s a shitty draw up but here is what I was trying to explain

I get what you trying to say. But mine is a bit more complicated than that. It’s a twin cam. And my engine mount is on that side so it goes in the middle of the cover. Here’s a picture to show. And thanks for taking the time do do a draw up. Lol.
