Thread: 300tdi rocker cover torque

Help please:
The workshop manual gives a tightening torque for the 3 rocker cover bolts of 4nm, which is bugger all (replaced the gasket). Without a torque wrench (that goes that low anyway), I tightened the bolts finger tight as much as I could and then one turn with a spanner. They can still turn quite easily with the spanner.

Before I take it for a run, would finger tight and a turn be about right. Should I give it another tweak or back off?

Appreciate any input.

Thanks mate. Little ridge at the top. Just didn't want to go for a drive and end up in an oil puddle.
