I had to pull the valve cover, and if you could tell me the torque specs for the valve cover bolts. If it matters it is a 07 5.9. Thanks in advance.

valve cover bolts. . .you know. . .Ive never used torque specs on them since you are either 1, useing RTV, 2, a rubber or cork gasket.
the valve cover for our trucks has a rubber gasket so you dont need much, just snug them down, but not enough to crush the gasket

It not a critical torque spec...
But I would run them down snug and call it good...
[align=left][/align][align=left]Copied from my Dodge FSM[/align][align=left][/align][align=left]Install the remaining bolts and isolators. Starting with the center bolt, torque in a circular pattern to 24 N·m (18 ft. lbs.).
