Does anyone know the bolt sequence for valve cover gaskets? I know the torque is 3.7 ft lbs but the bolt pattern is not known.

It says just start with the center bolt and then the outer bolts. So yeah, doesn't look like there is one.

Just x cross your pattern. Just a v/c gasket. Dr. Haynes states that it only matters on 2006 models. :huh: Probably do this on any year...
1. top center
2. bottom center
3. top front
4. bottom rear
5. bottom front
6. top rear
