Whatever, Louey. If you have the information why not simply tell the guy the right range?? Why ask him,
"Do you know what the bolt torque is for the valve covers when you tighten them ??", when you have what you believe to be the accurate answer at hand? Seems to me the helpful way would be to say, "The revised torque value from Ford in that era was 4-7ftlbs." Whatever floats your boat.
