hi, in retightening cam covers without a torque wrench and having to guess. as a rough guide just nipping the bolts until slight resistance with a spanner and small nip all the way round suffice do you think? :-/

Well David the toque setting for the cam covers is 8nm, so it is certainly a light setting.  If doing by intiution, which I have more often than using a torque wrench, then as you have described seems to be about right with maybe just one more 45 degree turn of the spanner! :y :y
