Hi,
was replacing the valve cover gasket on my m50tu and wondered why BMW would use a nut under a bolt to secure it. Then I realized I wasted so much time taking the studs out for no reason :eyecrazy lol. Anyway one of the studs had been damaged by the previous owner so I have to replace one anyway. Issue is I can’t seem to find the torque specs anywhere for the studs. I found that the bolts are 89 in lbs but I would think having them both at the same torque would mean if I removed the cover again, the studs would loosen instead and come out with the bolts. Anyone know what the torque specs are for the studs?
Thanks!
