  • 3x torx screws on thermostat housing cap torque?

    Hi,
    I've had to buy a new thermostat housing as I had a leak and National Day is only days away. Easy enough to do, though the new one leaked around the thermostat cap, where the 3 torx screws hold it together. Does anyone know if these 3 torx screws have a torque setting please? I didn't want to overtighten as they'd strip the plastic housing. (Note to self, buy a billet thermostat housing at a later date)
    Any help appreciated. Thanks.

        Sorry Matt, only just seen your request for advice.

        For future queries the torque setting is 20 Nm
