Does anyone have any recommendations on the best type and brand of valve cover gaskets (eg. cork, rubber, velcro, etc.)?
Thanks

93-94 (+ additional 70°)...............19
95-99 (+ additional 90°)...............11

It means..tighten to the torque spec..then turn the handle of the wrench another 90 degrees after the spec was met.
Another way to explain it..if you meet the torque spec and the wrench is pointing to 3 o'clock..you turn it until it reads 6 o'clock which is 90 degrees.

I have a feeling those torque to yield instructions are for “rocker arm bolts”.
Can someone please double-check this?
My 96 manual says.
Rocker arm covers and / or gaskets.
1. Rocker arm cover bolts and cover.
.Apply thread lock compound or equivalent to bolt threads.
Tighten
Bolts to 10 N.m (89in. lb.)
