I've asked this before but never came up with a suitable reply. I run an ap2 valvecover on my ap1, I have an ap1 shop manual but it doesn't list the torque spec that I need for an ap2 pcv valve. My ap2 pcv valve is leaking oil recently and it is likely coming from around the metal crush washer that sits behind the valve. When I installed the pcv valve I did it hand tight as I didn't have a torque spec for it. I removed the pcv valve and washer this evening and the washer doesn't appear to have any compression marks, so it likely wasn't on tight enough. Would anyone have a torque spec for an ap2 pcv valve ?, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for any reply on this.

 

my helms manual says 44N/m (33lb/ft).

 

Thanks very much for the quick reply, that helps me a lot . That explains why mine was leaking, I was afraid of stripping the threads on the valvecover so I had it set much lower than that. Much appreciated.
