my gsr head's valve cover bolts problem
dann today i pop up the hood when the engine kindda warm but not hot...and just curious about how tight the bolts of my head valve cover are...god dann...they are so lose...are they suppose to be like that...lose bolts = leak right...im scare...anyone have any suggestion
well i turn the bolt little bit not even that much of a force i putted in...then it just suprised me that they are so lose...
oh yeah i can't even tight them tighter...for some reason they keep turning...is that a bad sight? thread worn out?
any suggestion...what should i do? is it normal...

Re: my gsr head's valve cover bolts problem (yeegsr)
The little valve cover caps are only tightened down to 7-9 ftlbs. I can't remember the exact number but it is not much at all.
If the caps are just turning replace the studs they are more than likely stripped.

wat is the negative side of having the caps just turning....air will leak out from the rubber seal?

oil leaking from where...off the valve cover?

let says that the valve is leaking with air is coming out but no oil....would this drop the pressure of the head as well as exhaust manifold?
how will the performance result in this case
