I want to remove and replace my Dellortos and the instructions are to torque to [EDITED] 13 inch-lbs. Most of you know what that feels like intuitively, but I'm a newbie and don't want to screw up my new toy.
I don't yet own a torque wrench -- don't think I've even used one before. I'm wondering which one I should buy for this and future 914 stuff. E.g. my valve covers are converted to bolt on. |

The phenolic spacers with the paper gaskets attached can be found at all the usual places you get 914 parts.
They are engine size specific, but its EASY to ID them. 4 bolt holes vs 3 bolt holes. 4 bolt holes are for 1.7 and 1.8 engines. 3 bolt holes are for 2.0 engines. Zach |

I reached the previous owner (Tim), who told me he switched to these gaskets in March of this year because he was getting the "Dellorto whistle" at WOT with conventional gaskets. Since they're only a few months old, I'm thinking maybe I should first try to reseat them without the nylock nuts, then re-check for vacuum leaks?
