Are you taking the head bolts out? there is NO WATER JACKET SEALED by for the vale cover. If you did not intend to take the head off you will now because you can not re-torque head gaskets. What size are the heads on the bolt(s) you are taking out because the valve cover requires an 11mm socket

i didnt say there was a sealed water jacket by the vc. there is one bolt on the vc that goes into the water jacket for the head. ive done at least 50 4.0 heads and one bolt taps into it.
