remove cover again, drill small hole into bolt if it is broken off too close to get with vice grips, use ez out very casrefully.


place some sort of rags or towels to catch metal shavings, can also spay shave cream on top of rags or towels to help catch metal shavings.


these bolts are only ten mm so only take about 7 pounds of torque. tighten in criss coss fashion little by little evenly.

None of these answers make sense lol it clearly says at the top valve cover gasket bolts. Where are these crazy answers coming from?

Valve cover bolts are in most cases reusable unless rounded off or striped. If the bolts are m6 89in/lbs should be good m8 105 in/lbs.

Check to make sure the plugs are tight and torqued to manufacturer's specs. Also, your Valve cover gasket(s) may need replaced.

just tighten the bolts up a little more than snug but not so tight that the gasket starts to be pushed out of shape.

good chance its coming from the valve cover try changing the valve cover gasket and torque down the bolts and wipe off the oil go for a test drive and see if the oil reappears at least this is where i would start. hope this helps

1. Jack up front of vehicle and support on safety stands. Remove left front wheel.
2. Remove alternator/water pump drive belt. Remove water pump pulley.
3. Remove A/C belt if equipped.
4. Remove valve cover.
5. Remove upper timing belt cover.
6. Rotate crankshaft until No. 1 cylinder is at TDC compression stroke and camshaft sprocket timing marks align with edge of cylinder head. "UP" cast on sprocket will be at top when sprocket is in correct position. Crankshaft may be rotated using a socket wrench inserted through access hole in left fender well (engine rotates counterclockwise).
7. Unbolt and remove crank pulley. Remove rubber seal washers from belt tensioner pivot and adjustment bolts protruding through lower belt cover. Remove belt cover retaining bolts and remove cover from below.
8. Remove concave belt retainer from end of crankshaft. If timing belt is to be reused, mark direction of rotation before removing.
9. Loosen belt tensioner pivot and adjustment bolts. Push tensioner away from belt and retighten adjustment bolt to hold tensioner in this position. Remove belt.
10. Insert a suitable tool through cam sprocket and brace against cylinder head. Remove bolt and pull sprocket from camshaft.
11. Without dislodging key, install new sprocket on camshaft. Torque bolt to 22 ftlb (30 Nm).
12. Install new timing belt by starting at crank gear and working it over cam sprocket in clockwise direction. Ensure that timing marks are properly aligned.
13. Release tensioner by loosening adjustment bolt. After tensioner contacts belt, retighten bolt.
14. Rotate engine at least one full turn (counterclockwise) and check that timing marks are aligned. Loosen adjustment bolt and allow tensioner to take out any remaining belt slack. Torque adjustment and pivot bolts to 22 ftlb (30 Nm).
15. Install remaining components in reverse order of removal. Torque fasteners to following values:

TORQUE VALUES

Valve Cover Nuts - 7 ftlb (10 Nm)
Cam Sprocket Bolt - 22 ftlb (30 Nm)
Tensioner Pivot Bolt - 22 ftlb (30 Nm)
Tensioner Adjust Bolt - 22 ftlb (30 Nm)
Belt Cover Bolts - 7 ftlb (10 Nm)
Crank Pulley Bolt - 83 ftlb (115 Nm)
Water Pump Pulley Bolts - 9 ftlb (12 Nm)

It has no torque wutsoever, just tighten the nut and check the seal that u have installed! Did u used any silicone sealant just to seal everything?

The gasket has metal torque limiters.use your own judgement just dont break the bolts
