I'd ignore the answer above. This carb doesn't have a gasket. It uses a very delicate and discontinued acetate plastic carb heater plate with a silicone ring seal. If you overtigten the nuts that plate will crack and you will flood the engine with coolant and destroy a part you can't buy anymore.

Torque on small nuts and bolts is common sence most of the time There is a thick gasket under the carb then you have to take into account the grade of the bolt and the thread pitch and its size Aruel of thumb is the finer the theard and lower the pitch the more torque it requires because it will be a much higher grade of metal The bolts to your cabburtor are between 18 to 26 ft lbs you don;t want to distorut the gasket never over tighten with gaskets there job is to make a good seal good luck

How would I reposition a carburator on a 96 Honda Accord v6

Repositioning a carburetor on a 1996 Honda Accord V6 may involve a few steps. Here is a general guide on how to reposition a carburetor on a Honda Accord V6:
  1. Disconnect the battery: Before you begin any work, disconnect the negative terminal of the battery to avoid electrical shock or damage to the electrical system.
  2. Locate the carburetor: The carburetor is usually located on top of the engine and is connected to the air intake system.
  3. Remove the air intake system: To access the carburetor, you may need to remove the air intake system that connects the carburetor to the air filter box.
  4. Disconnect the fuel line: Once you have access to the carburetor, disconnect the fuel line that connects to the carburetor.
  5. Disconnect the throttle cable: The throttle cable is usually connected to the carburetor and controls the throttle valve. Disconnect the throttle cable from the carburetor.
  6. Remove the carburetor mounting bolts: The carburetor is usually mounted on the engine using bolts. Remove the mounting bolts that secure the carburetor to the engine.
  7. Reposition the carburetor: Once the carburetor is loose, you can reposition it to your desired location. Make sure it is level and aligned with the other engine components.
  8. Reinstall the carburetor: After repositioning the carburetor, reinstall it in the reverse order of the steps above. Tighten the mounting bolts, reconnect the throttle cable and fuel line, and reattach the air intake system.
  9. Reconnect the battery: Finally, reconnect the battery and start the engine to check that the carburetor is working properly.
Note: If you are not experienced in car mechanics, it is recommended to seek professional help from a certified mechanic.

2007 Honda Accord 2.4L VTi - Valve Cover Stud/Bolt

The torque specification for the cylinder valve cover stud/bolt on a 2007 Honda Accord 2.4L VTi is 7.2-8.1 lb-ft (10-11 Nm).
As for replacing the broken stud, it depends on how the broken stud is located and the extent of the damage. If the broken stud is easy to access, it may be a simple matter of unscrewing the old one and putting a new one in with the correct torque specification. However, if the broken stud is difficult to access or if it has caused damage to the threads, it may require a more complex repair. In some cases, it may be necessary to drill out the old stud and tap new threads or to use a helicoil insert to repair the damaged threads.
It's important to note that over-tightening the valve cover bolts/studs can lead to damage or deformation of the valve cover or gasket, and under-tightening can lead to oil leaks. So, it's crucial to torque the bolts/studs to the specified torque value.

HEAD TORQUE AND SPECS FOR A 2001 HONDA ACCORD 2.3L

Tighten the cylinder head bolts. Tighten the cylinder head bolts is sequence to 29 Nm (3.0 kgf-m, 22 ft. lbs.). Use a beam-type torque wrench.

Torque specs needed

on a 1999 Honda Accord, the torque for the front axle nut is 181 ft lbs. For the most part, sung it up and then go a bit further. If you are reusing the old axle nut, tighten it until the stake mark on the nut lines up with the notch in the axle (make sure to re-stake it). check out alldata.com/diy for individual vehicle subscriptions which have all the repair info you will ever need. If you had the steering knuckle out, tighten the balljoint nuts on the upper and lower control arms until they are tight and then tighten until the hole lines up to recieve the cotter pin.
