Valve Cover Gasket
I'm going to be changing my valve cover gasket this weekend, read a couple of posts about it here, but I was wondering if the bolts had to be torqued, I didn't see anything about it.
any tips, or anything that I should change while doing it??

They do have a torque setting in inch pounds but off the top of my head I don't recall what they are. I just snug them up and recheck them after a few hour of run time for any leaks. When you change the gasket. Replace it with a Felpro rubber gasket and don't use any rtv, It doesn't need it with a rubber gasket. While you have it apart you may want to change out the ccv valve and the hoses.
