Valve Cover Gasket R&R (aka Cylinder Head Cover) [] ARP Stainless Bolts

[abuck99]

A valve cover gasket job is in my future- and I'm not looking forward to it.

Has anyone opted for ARP Stainless bolts over the butter soft OEM bolts?

I would slap some anti-seize on the OEM bolts (assuming they don't snap coming out), reinstall, and save your money.

Given you live in the South, I wouldn’t sweat it. My trucks changed out no problem, and those bolts shouldn’t be cranked down, either.

i use new OEM valve cover bolts (and the little rubber hats) anytime the valve cover comes off

Just got notified today that the OEM bolts I ordered (90080-10168) on last weeks Serra Toyota sale are now zero stock and backordered with no "recovery" date.

I could be missing it but I don't see any 90090-10168 part number listed
---------------
9010906163 - bolt w/ gasket
9151160625 - Bolt only
9021007001 - Seal only

Thank you >>>> 91511-60625 - Bolt only is NLA on PS- new is 91511J0625, which is suggested on PS. But when you enter J0625 part # on a US dealer website you get 90090-10168 which is where I got tripped up and ordered).
FYI check one of the part numbers you pulled from partsouq- On the US dealer website
90109-06163 has superseded to 90080-10330 (does not call out it comes with seal) if it does that would be an awesome deal- its listed at $1.37ea. Just the sealing washer by itself (90210-07001) is $3.09ea. ($4.46 ea both combined)
