Valve Cver Bolts
Okay so next week on my vaction i plan on replacing a lot of things on my car one of them is going to be the valve cover gaskets since there leaking....Now the question is should I use new Bolts to or re-use the old ones? I thought i read somewhere that you have to get new ones but i could of mistaken is for something else.... Thanks Nick

95..I'm pretty positive the FSM says they are TTY, however as you mention..there is no problem reusing (TTY definately because they are X torque + degrees) Reuse w/o even considering needing new ones. 3/8" 6 point socket is best for this procedure.
Haro.. you can get them with the gaskets or seperately at the parts stores.

Andy..in the FSM it says torque to some dumb low number then add some ridiculous amount of degrees. The grommet picks up most the slack, and the bolts have a spacer built in to keep the cover from being raveged.
