Getting ready to replace my leaking Valve Cover Gasket in the next few days. Looking at several threads here on the subject, I have noticed that in some pictures....several of the bolts were broken off in the head.
I am aware that these bolts will not take a lot of torque and that when putting the V/C back in place they don't need to be tightened very much.
My question however is this: Does anyone know the tread pitch of the bolts...in case I twist some of them off when removing the Valve Cover? I can't find information on this. I need to know which 'tap' to use to chase the threads after removing any broken bolts.
I have ordered (10) new bolts...just in case (90105-06221).
