Well I never touched the valve cover on a 22re before. THe bolts were finger loose but it was leaking.

I will loosen the bolts and then torque them (or attempt to) again to spec. I think I torqued it to spec and didnt hear my wrench click... Then the grommits just cept compressing and It got tighter..

Needs a valve adjustment though, hasnt been touched in almost 40k

the retched sound from over tightening the valve cover, is the cam sprocket grinding the chain on her.......

over tightening the VC nuts can cause the VC to warp, too.
