    I need help. I changed out the valve cover gaskets. I ended up with a 12mm heaf x 4mm long bolt that I can not find a place to out it back

    Can you help? Where does it go?

    Fun times. I went to dealership to parts and got two diagrams. The only bolt that looks like it is the center one which I have already installed. Then a mechanic was in lobby and heard me talking and said he would look at it for me. He went outside and said it is nothing obvious of course the intake is on. I tried to see if they had the center bolt in stock thinking to compare they didn't. So I will have to go back and trace my steps. Thank you for commenting
