    Anyone have the torque sequence for the valve cover? Searched the manual and I can't seem to find anything about it. Can't seem to find it for the life of me. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    The manual just doesn't call it "valve cover". If you're doing a text search in a PDF copy, search for INSTALL CYLINDER HEAD COVER SUB-ASSEMBLY.

    According to an old 2010 PDF in circulation, there are 13 bolts and they all go to 10 N·m (102 kgf·cm, 7ft·lbf), in no specified order. Criss-crossing from the middle outward would be typical for such a thing when they don't give a more specific rule. But 7 ft·lbf is such a gentle torque anyway, this isn't one of those cases where tightening order is as critical as it is for, say, the cylinder head.
