OK just checked the valves, etc, etc.....when putting hte head back on do you need to use torque wrench on the two allen bolts?

The torque wrench I have can not fit. Suggestions please.

If you are talking about the two allen bolts that hold the valve cover on.......just snug them. You will feel when they are seated and just make sure they are good and snug.

How's that for a torque spec...good and snug.
