just valve covers and rocker arms..........22ft/lbs on the rocker bolts......
shouldn't hurt anything.....if they were bent bad enough to hurt something you would probably hear noise......

I doubt that anything happened to your engine. Your clutch slipped, your tires slipped, you caught it quick.... I'm thinkin' you might have to float the valves and bang a piston to bend a pushrod...
Read the original message... Guys, did you read GTO?obsessor's original question? He was asking if what he did "might" have damaged anything. the next thread said might have bent a pushrod and everybody jumps on the bandwagon to get this guy to tear his motor apart and put pushrods in.
