Valve Cover Question

[S8track16]

Hey, Could someone tell me the size of the bolts on the 2.2 eco valve cover? I'll be heading to a scrap yard this weekend and need to get some "new" bolts.

Thanks.

Sorry to thread jack, but it seems you have gotten what you wanted from the thread, so I don't think I am taking away from it. While it doesn't seem related, do you have to pull the plugs to remove the valve cover. I am wondering because I know when I put the plugs in forever ago I didn't use anti-seize, but when I had my timing redone they would have had to remove the valve cover. I am curious as to if they had to remove the plugs as they would have likely put anti-seize on them. I probably need to change plugs again soon, but am worried I may have screwed myself with the whole anti-seize thing.

You don't have to pull the plugs out to take the valve cover off.

Thank you for the information. I guess when I get to it I will have to be extra careful in removing them.

Your welcome. They shouldn't be that hard to get out.
