Anyone happen to know offhand what size mm socket I'll need for the bolts securing the rocker covers (valve covers)? I'm ordering new gaskets and wanted to find out the if the spark plug tube seals are separate from the cover and can be replaced individually like later model year covers. Hopefully the answer is yes so I can replace those as well.

The FSM very clearly instructs a 2 stage torque of 2.0 Nm and then 8.3 Nm (18 inch-lbs and 73 inch-lbs) for these bolts.

94F outside and the garage is about 75F. Not too shabby for no AC or fans.

Remember, I've been called worse by better.

You did do a lot of work and I appreciate it.

Wind is really picking up! Storms tonight might be pretty good.

Back from the kayak trip... saw a few creatures lounging about....

Did go over the top a fair sized Manatee (~10’ long) but didn’t get a picture of it....

You ever think that you are not at the top of the food chain out there. You're dinner.
