“Spark Plug Well Oil Leak Fix” video; cam cap bolts torque specs question

[EricTheCarGuy]

I got those from memoy from the Honda service manual and to be honest that was only a guess. Not good if you stripped one of the bolts as your going to have to start by repairing the threads, you don’t want to leave a fastener in there if it’s stripped. Good luck.

I backed all of them out, removed the assembly again, put it back in its place and then torqued the 12mm bolts to 15 ft lbs and the 10mm bolts to 9 ft lbs. None of the bolts skipped on me this time; not even the two that I thought I’d stripped. I think that you should add an annotation to the video listing these specs. Thanks for replying.
