Rocker assembly where do these bolts go?
So I went to replace my o-rings because my spark plug holes were leaking oil, but when I took off my rocker assembly and flipped it over, all the bolts went out except for two of them (I'm new at cars haha). Now I have no idea which goes where. There are three different kinds of bolts that add up to 16 in all. Attached is a color coded picture of the screws and the holes it is supposed to go in. Does anyone know which bolt goes where (notice that the assembly is flipped over)? If you want to, you can also download the picture and check the boxes in the appropriate color if that is easier than explaining.

Also, does anyone know the order in which I am supposed to screw these back in and the foot lbs I am supposed to use? These are all 12mm.

the first pic is where the bolts go the second is From Autozone.com for the torquing sequence
If the rocker arms or shafts are to be replaced, identify the parts as they are removed from the shafts to ensure reinstallation in the original location.
To install:
Lubricate the camshaft journals and lobes.
Set the rocker arm assembly in place and loosely install the bolts. Tighten each bolt two turns at a time in the proper sequence to ensure that the rockers do not bind on the valves. Tighten the camshaft holder bolts for 1984-91 to 16 ft. lbs. (22 Nm).
8MM Bolts
16 ft. lbs. (22Nm).
6MM Bolts
9 ft. lbs. (12 Nm)
so Dont pay attention to the numbers those are the valves this is the best picture i could find, the 2 black dots are the longest valve cover studs. the 4 medium go in a straight line with the valve cover studs if you look at the bottom row of screws, EXHAUST. your pic is reverse that of mine so... the two that stayed in are medium if that helps you and the last eight are as easy as cake.

Just wanted to quick mention something I noticed in your photo... the oil o-ring on your no. 3 spark plug tube appears to be the incorrect one... should be a double o-ring shaped kinda like this -> Oo
Awesome thanks guys. And yeah crxguy I asked about that in a separate thread. Thanks!
