I am installing the valve cover gasket on my car. Does anyone know the torque on the valve cover on the 1996 nissan altima?

TIA

2.4 or 2.5? it all depends. ill give you both:

2.4L= Step 1 = Bring all to 35 in-lbs
Step 2 = Then to 69 to 95 in-lbs

2.5L= Step 1 = Bring all to 9 to 26 in-lbs
Step 2 = Bring all to 65 to 82 in-lbs
Thats straight out of the Haynes Manual. Enjoy...
