    Are you trolling us?

    80 ft lbs for a valve cover bolt LOL. :rofl:

    You would be better off just using the feel method... Tighten until it feels good.

    The torque specs is suppose to be 80 INCH/LBS which translates to roughly 6.6 ft/lbs. The valve cover comes in 2 bolt sizes. The short ones takes 7.4 ft/lbs and the longer bolts(center bolts/nuts) are 80in/lbs (6.6 ft/lbs)...Tightening them using a herculean 80 ft/lbs will result in your scenario of anal clenching, snapping bolts and a change of underwear.
