Axle cover Bolt torque
Does anyone have any specs on a 1999 LS1 rear axle cover? I'm looking at a 3rd gen book and it went from 30 ft lbs, then in like 87+ it says 20 ft lbs. Does this apply to 4th gen axles? I did a search with no results...
Thanks in advance for your response.

Torque
Some.
Torque goes with hardware size.
20 ft-lbs is fine.
Tight enough they won't fall out, not so tight you break them.
