#18. After the RTV has cured, I torqued the valve cover bolts to a bit less than the 10 nm spec.

#19. Install new spark plugs. Use the included BMW tool and hand thread the spark plugs until fully seated. The torque spec for the plugs was 18 ft-lbs, but that seemed a bit much and I stopped at about 10 ft-lbs.

#20. Plug in the valve cover breather hose.
