The rockers are 20 ft lbs and the injector hold down bolts are 120 in lbs. I think the glow plugs are 14 ft lbs but can't swear to it. I just tighten them up good. I just tighten the valve cover gaskets. Never even bothered to look up the torque spec on those. I just go by feel.

35-37 ft lbs that's for a 38 r but I'm guessing it's prolly the same torque

Everything seems okay to me. Just not sure on glow plugs. I asked about the turbo hold down bolts because they are bigger then say plenum bolts but the sheet only said 18 ft lbs. I'm going with 35 ft lbs. I know how hard they were coming out they had to be more then 18.
