    Default how much to tighten eccentic pinch bolt?

    I'm sorry to ask such a question, but I could not find a definative answer using the search. I dont want to strip anything. would jsut getting it "snug" do? my torque wrench wont fit in there so I'm looking for a recommended "feel" for getting them tight. oh, also, what is the torque spec for the valve cover bolts? tia!

    also, a related question: what is the best way to tighten the valves within spec? I think I read that some tighten the bolt with the eccentric forced down on the .012 feeler? should this work with the M30? The .012 shold grab , the .011 should be an easy fit, and the .013 should not fit, right? thanks!
