Technical Cam belt tensioner torque ?

[milesgregory]

I'm currently changing the cam belt and tensioner on my 1.2 8v Punto, does any one know the correct torque for the bolt that holds the tensioner on ? The correct torque for the engine mount bolts would also be very much appreciated !

28nm for the tensioner bolt. No idea on the engine mounts -- I suspect most people just do them "tight" by feel.

I go engine mounts by feel of tight as well

cheers guys you're all life savers ! One last question, my rocker cover was leaking oil aswell, so I thought now would be a good time to replace the gasket. From what I'v seen most people only bother putting the gasket paste on the corners. I'v always known people to put the gasket paste the whole way around the gasket. Which way should I go for ?

Your call! I tend to put a little all the way round. But the trick is to clean the mating surfaces well, make sure the breather pipe is clear, and not to over-tighten.
