Missed that part! That makes more sense.

...and the valve cover needs 35-60? Sumptins not right there.

While I can understand that number is in the TM, the valve cover torque is awe-full high! I would just snug them down. That style gasket doesn't take much torque to seal well.

PM sent!

Carlo, the multifuels are made by different manufacturers, but made to the same (basic) specs. There is no difference.

Looks pretty good, at LEAST spray or bush some oil on everything before you close it up and try to start it.

Pic2 I wouldn't do anything to. Pic5 I would pull and clean. You will see how much easier it is to clean with them off.

If you clean them with them in the motor, all that rust will fall into the oil galleys(talk about a can of worms). Take it from someone that has messed with these motors, remove from engine. While it is off, you can inspect the surfaces that contact the valves and pushrods.

OH! If there is a pressure plate and clutch, I would pull it and make sure the clutch isn't stuck to the flywheel. You will need something to line up the clutch afterward though.

Nah, I have seen RUNNING motors with more rust on the rockers than that! What happens is, the motor gets warm and the moisture moves to the top(the valve covers). It has no where to go so it condenses and drops on the pressed steel rocker arms. Rust follows! Take the valve cover off, unbolt...

Wow, sucks man. I probably have one if you cant find one close to home.
