I am wondering if anyone has the torque specs for the bolts attached to the camshaft assembly, under the valve cover as shown in the picture. I found this picture with some specs but it doesn't say for what year civic so am wondering if anyone has info as to the validity of these specs or can provide them. Thanks. D17A2 engine. Also I installed the camshaft plug/cap with the horizontal lines not horizontal, what can go wrong?
Tighten each bolt two turns at a time in the sequence shown
-8 mm bolts: 20 Nm (14 ft. lbs.) apply engine oil to the threads.
-6 mm bolts: 12 Nm (8.7 ft. lbs.) apply engine oil to the threads.
Note: 6 mm bolts are identified by the numbers (11), (12), (13), (14).
