What is the bolt removal and reinstallation pattern for a 2007 toyota camry v6 valve cover bolts and torque specs

Hi Joe

51 foot pounds

2000 Toyota solara 2.2L Engine Torque Specs

Toyota Camry Solara Alternator Torque Specs : 18 ft-lbs ; Belt Tensioner Torque Spec, 51 ft-lbs ; Motor Mount (Engine Side) Torque, 59 ft-lbs ; Motor Mount (Frame ...

Wildly varying advice. I would use the lower amounts. They are not under a lot of pressure and you don't want to compress the new gasket too much.

..

Are you referring to the valve cover or the head itself?

Start with the inner bolts and work outward with 90 degree sequential increases to 42 ft lbs

on a 2002 2.4 engine head bolts are 'torqued to distance'.

First, install all the bolts, and, in a sequential fashion, starting at the innermost, working outward, torque all bolts to 70 N-m/806 kgf-cm/58 foot lbs.

Next, mark the front side of each head bolt with a dot of paint. Retighten the cylinder head bolts 90 degrees, starting at the inner 2, and working outward.I dont thin anything has changed on this engine since then.

It is 36 ft-lb, but done in two stages to a prescribed sequence.The bolts should be oiled. See here p67

This is for the 4-cyl. The V6 is 40 ft-lb, and the link is .....eg2.pdf.

There is a proper tightening sequence for the valve cover bolts. I've found it extremely helpful to put a bead of RTV on the valve cover gasket to help ensure a solid seal. I've had problems with the aluminum threads in the head stripping out before reaching torque spec. You can use longer bolts in some of the holes on the head if you have stripping problems.

You should also wait 12 hours before starting the car, as you want the seal to take.

We hope that this helps you out.

1. Before servicing the vehicle, refer to the Precautions section.
2. Drain the transaxle fluid.
3. Remove or disconnect the following:
   
   Negative battery cable. On vehicles equipped with an air bag, wait at least 90 seconds before proceeding Battery Air cleaner assembly Throttle cable from the throttle body Cruise control actuator cover and connector, if equipped Ground wire Starter Speed sensor connectors, direct clutch speed sensor, and the park/neutral position switch connector on the transaxle Solenoid connector on the transaxle Shift control cable Oil cooler hoses Front side transaxle mounting bolts Front engine mounting bolts Oil cooler line mounting bolts from the front frame Upper transaxle to engine mounting bolts

loosen the mounting bolts on the alternator, remove the old belt, replace with the new belt, slightly tighten the top mounting bolt, pull the alternator up until the belt is tight or if there is an adjustment bolt, crank down until tight (shouldn't bow more than 1"), and tigten other hardware.
