Anyone know the torque specs for the bolts?

Called the Service Mgr this morning. He said he's never seen or heard of a valve cover leak on these cars. He said he couldn't tell me if it would be covered or not until they look at it. He also said he thinks that the tuner must have removed the valve cover when installing the header even if the told me he did or not. I don't believe that one bit because it was done by Andy @ ADM. I can't imagine he would need to remove the valve cover since he has done so many header installs. I'm sure he could do them in his sleep.

Based on the comments already made I'm worried they'll come back and blame installer and want me to pay. Not including it's a hassle to drop of the car and wait all day to hear that...they are about 30 min drive one way.

I'm concerned there might be a casting imperfection though which is why it happended in the first place.

Part of me wants to just do it but once I take off the valvecover myself I'm sure they'll never fix anything with it if it is determined later to be a casting issue.
