I have removed the left side engine cover (crankcase cover) in order to replace a gasket. I cant seem to find in my service manual what the bolts are supposed to be torqued down to when bolting the cover back on. If anyone could find this info it would be a great help. Thanks.

my book shows 20-24 Nm/15-18ftlbs for final.

for the crankcase bolts.

I am looking at clymers 1989-2002 pg 201 table 2 ENGINE LOWER END TIGHTENING TORQUES

I hope I'm not wrong. it's what I've been going by. :o
