Does anyone have this info for cam covers? I’m getting ready to install gaskets today? Your help is greatly appreciated.

Camshaft Cover Torque Sequence

Here it is. Don't forget the blob of sealant on the flat spot on the sealant.

Much thanks David. Are you aware if codes will reset after replacing transmission? I just completed the job. 🤪

Codes reset

just changing the camshaft cover gaskets won’t reset any codes. Try the hard reset - removing -ve / ground lead from battery and touching the +ve battery terminal. Wait 10 min. That’ll reset most but not the transmission TCN. That’s only from the dealer, but you shouldn’t need that. If you still have codes, post that desperately on the forum for help
