Replaced my fuel pressure regulator, ordered new plug wires and painted cam cover also ordered new hardware for it.
Do I have to put any gasket sealant or anything on that black cam cover gasket?

Only in the corners including the corners by the rubber pucks.

Ok thanks, that's how the one I took off was done. Do I put a bead on the gasket itself or on the metal surface?
What pucks?

kwikt

either one just a small dab.

Ok thanks man.

Are there torque values for those hex bolts?

kwikt

Don't snap the cam cover bolts....very expensive. I believe torque is 7ft lb or less.

Boeing 717

Ok thanks

Jerry, when you tighten the cam cover bolts, they torque against the head, not the cover, so over tightening them doesn't pull the cover tighter. Just make sure the rubber grommets are in good shape.

Thanks Paul. I have all new grommets and hardware. Just waiting on new plug wires to come.

fyi....the 2k ohm ends unscrew if you need to transfer the extra sleeves on the wires.

I rolled the rear of the valve cover once because I didn't strap back the fuel lines.

there is a tiny clip on the plastic fuel rail cover between one and two. its hard to see.

the safety clip for the hall sensor at the connector can fly off...you might set it aside.

trapped air can push the plug wires up so check them after the first heat cycle.

Great, thanks, I will look out for all of that.

Here's a little more info on the cam cover.
