Are there torque settings for the Rocker cover bolts or should they just be snug on the mini..If so does any one know what they are? .Thanks

If there are specs, I've never known them. I tighten the cover up "secrurely". However, you want to avoid tightening it too much. Excessive force/torque will cause the cover to bow making it impossible for the cover to seal against the head.

Officially 3.5 LbFt, which is naff all.

Like DK says, just tight enough to squeeze the cork gasket a bit.

...which is why those t-bar handle things can be used.
