Is there ft/lbs on the bolts? I don't have the manuals and w/gaskets comes tourqe.
Any things I should watch for? I know that it's an easy job but I like to ask before I bust out the wrench.
Thanks,

its very easy, if your not clueless you can just use your hand to torque it. i usually give it about a 1/4 or less of a turn more once snug. good luck, should go like cake and take around a half hour

Thanks, I ordered the whole kit. Enough already with the leaking. It's not much but it drips on the maniflod and smokes like, well, oil burning. Not something that, considering how easy a fix it is, that I can put up with any longer.

these bolts are closed end bolts, so you can't really go extreme with these type of bolts.
But use your judgment.

Yeah, I wondered about those. I 'm by no means a mechanic, but I dig fixing my car using the info available here. And valve cover gasket is next. Just thought I'd send out to ya'll 'fore I got into some kind of trouble.
Thanks
