86 ft*lb or 86 INCH*lb?

86 ft*lb is like tightening wheel nuts.
86 inch*lb = about 7 ft*lb

My PCV valve was stiff, so I replaced it. How is your oil consumtion?

Did new PCV valve fix or did the repair shiop need to fix something?

The little studs for the valve cover are easy to snap off. I suggest using a nut driver (or screwdriver with socket on it) instead of a ratchet on those, so there is less chance of overtightening.
