Quick Question on Valve Cover Replacement

So I am about to replace my VC. seen enough videos.
Dealer advised that there is a Crack in it at the back.

Questions:
1) When removing the Fuel Lines, what Sizes Open End Wrench do I need?
I heard there were 2 different Sizes.

2) Can I get the Torque Values of all the Bolts? please.

Thanks in advance.

14mm and 17mm are the sizes you need for the fuel lines.

Edit: Also 11mm for the rail to the block, but I removed the plastic clips that blocked access and you'll have room for a socket if you do that.

Thanks you very Much.
What does Strut Bar Center Read?
56nm/41ft-lbs +90 degree.

Did I read that right?, why would not just add the appropriate Torque Level?
Also Just curious why is some Crossed out and re-written by hand?
Just Curious, not trying to pick on it.

Thank you again very Much.

Thats what newtis has them at, probably torque to yield bolts(I didn't replace them, I will if the bar needs to come off again) the crossed out values are from the e9x chassis n55.

+1

This is typical of stretch bolt torque specs. Because they "stretch", they don't torque linearly. Likely, they would stretch after the 41 ft/lb mark and you wouldn't be able to get your torque wrench to register much higher, you'd probably just end up stripping the bolt.
