I am needing to know the proper amount of torque to be applied to the camshaft caps. I have downloaded the online FSM from Zeroyon.com but don't quite understand the numbers given beside the installation instructions, which are 9.0-11.8(.92-1.2,6.7-8.2),Any help will be great.

Thanks mang, so basically the second number listed 11.8 is max torque.

And halt....

Thats Newton/meters. Its 6.7-8.7ft/lbs. I think I did mine to 10 n/m or something like that. ITs important that you don't mix up the cam brackets either. Keep them in the same order they came out in. Also torque them in proper sequence...

I used the FSM. ITs in there, just look...
