as item 12.

Also, be careful with the goofy plastic oil supply pipe on the inside of the valve cover - they will break.

Hey Ras,

I am in the process of finishing this project. The dealer left one rubber washer out of the bag so now I am one short. Argh!!!

But anyways, what pattern did you use to tighten the valve cover gasket back on? Did you use this following pattern:



Also, I know you mentioned you tightened things down just shy of 7.3 lbs-ft (10 nm). What about the 3 bolts that are towards the front of the engine (near the fan) and then the two bolts on top of the valve cover (the ones by the spark plugs)? Is there any tightening pattern for those bolts? Did you use the same hand torque specs for them?

Again, thanks again for a great DIY. I also replaced the oil galley gasket as well as the valve cover breather hose (since my just literally just broke apart as I was trying to loosen it from the valve cover).
