Need advice on replacing valve cover gasket on 1994 2.3l engine. What is the torque spec for those bolts and pattern to tighten them up? It looks a little wet around the gasket outside, but not dripping in anyway. Or do I just need to tighten those bolts up a bit.

Please advise.

 

I have used Fel-Pro gaskets over many years, have no complaints

Valve cover bolts are just "snug", 7ft/lb or 80in/lb
Over tightening will cause leaks

Wouldn't hurt to check each one for tightness

You start at a center bolt and alternate sides out to each end, like doing head bolts

Make sure PCV valve/system is working OK
PCV system creates a slight negative pressure in valve cover and oil pan areas, this help to prevent leaks in valve cover gaskets and oil pan gaskets
