Well i planned on making this job go smooth...BUT NO! Changed my Valve cover gasket today on my lil Mazda.Looked at it thought yeah be a easy job..well i took last bolt out broke brittle vaccum lines
so i put a rubber sleeve over that..Then as i was putting bolts back i ended up snapping the head of 1 of the back 1s grrrrrrr

Its easy to get around this situation, take a good valve cover bolt into the hardware store, find an exact match, spend a little bit of change and you got your bolt back.
Now if it snaped off in the head, its a whole new adventure getting that piece out of the hole. But you can pick up that bolt at your local hardware store.

That's why I left the leaky valve cover gaskets alone on my 2.8L. I took one look at the thing and said to myself, "This can't end well, I'm gonna break a lot of crap."
