    Valve Cover Bolts

    So as I was taking off my valve cover two of the bolts came out with studs. Any ideas on what I should do? They can screw back in to the holes.

        As long as your gasket seals and your head/vc aren't warped you should be good.

        If it makes you feel better you can put a tiny bit of thread sealer (loctite blue) and thread the stud in, then torque to spec.

          it won't leak, just put them in all the way using the two-nut method


          it's a Kenny Powers quote on wheels

            Looks like both of them aren't tightening down, they just keep turning and turning. I believe its now causing a leak because my RPMs keep jumping and it feels like that car is going to stall out. It never did it before.

              Bit of thread locker mate, and she'll be right.

              Once you get the bolt back in with a decent (or new) tappet cover gasket the nuts do not need to be that tight. They are only m6 thread or whatever. don't over do it.

                And if the thread is iffy feed some copper wire into the hole and screw the stud in, the wire will provide enough of a key to hold the stud.
