Check to make sure the hex heads bolts will fit the recess in the valve covers. You may want to use a socket head cap screw. The head is a smaller diameter and will fit the recess in the cover.

Good point. I brought one with me today to make sure the head will be the same or smaller.

Bummer, was so close as these Dormans fit nice in the cover, but are too short. Dorman doesn't make them any longer, just shorter.

Been working on the LR pretty much all day. Installed new valley and intake gaskets and valve cover gaskets. Installed new o-rings but not before giving them a good cleaning.
Should get the rest done tomorrow. Wow, what a job.

Intake Assembly completed. Changed out the oil and topped off the coolant with Dex.
She drove great driving for about a mile around the neighborhood, got home and can smell coolant. Got a coolant leak somewhere but it was dark, so will find the source and hopefully it is an easy fix.
The new plugs gave it a smoother ride and the new belt made it quieter.

Ended up buying the single 12 pt socket at the local mom n pop auto store for about $4. Worked like a charm. Also, don't forget the shorter bolts are on the inside.
