I just installed a new valve cover gasket on my 2.7L 3RZ-FE, and I don't know what to torque these 10 bolt too.. Anyone know? (As a guess, it's probably 50 or 60 inch lbs., right?)

Yes, 4 to 5 ft-lbs (same thing) is about right. No more than that. The FSM and Haynes manuals don't list a torque for the 4 cyl valve cover bolts for some reason.

Thanks for the info!

Yeah, I checked my Chilton and they didn't list anything for the 3RZ, they had lots of stuff for the 22R/22RE, though..

I'm just going to call the service dept. at my local Stealer tomorrow and ask them, just to be certain.

Just rebuilt the topend on my 3.4l. Everything in the aluminum was 12ft*lbs. Probably similar for the 4cyl.
