Real quick question. I see several mentions of the torque being 10nm for the cover bolts. TIS lists them as 6nm on the M6 bolts. Did something change? Am I getting bad info off the TIS page?


Fit cylinder head cover.
Align spark plug tubes.
Tighten down all mounting elements in diagonal sequence from inside outwards.
Tightening torque: 11 12 8 AZ.

8AZ
Decoupling adapter screw to cylinder head cover.
S65 M6 6 Nm


So maybe I'm asking a dumb question here, but is it 10nm or 6nm?
Thanks &
Cheers,

Im literally doing this right now. I’m using 10nm or 85 inch-lbs.
