    This technical bulletin revises the torque specification for camshaft cover retaining bolts on 1995-96 Sedan Range AJ16 engines with VINs 720001-767554. The new specification of 5 lb-ft ensures the bolt shoulder bottoms against the cylinder head surface for an even gasket compression and reduced oil leakage. Technicians should follow the new procedure of discarding old seals and gaskets, applying new seals and torques of 5 lb-ft in the specified sequence when installing or repairing camshaft covers on affected vehicles.

    Revised Bolt Torque Specification VIN
    720001-767554

    ISSUE:
    The torque specification for the camshaft cover retaining bolts has been revised
    beginning with VIN 767555. The revised torque specification ensures that the
    shoulder on the shank of the bolt bottoms against the surface of the cylinder head
    (Illustration 1) to achieve even compression of the camshaft cover gasket and to
