i've never done that, i just put the covers back on with only 2 or 3 screws
if that. they should stay on without it. plus, you should be able to hear
valvetrain noise thru the covers just fine. glad it worked for you though!

But as Gregg pointed out, probably the timing chain. I've run my engine for a minute or 2 with the valve covers off at least twice after I installed the 1.7 Crower rockers, and had only a little bit go over the sides. After about a minute or so though, it did start tossing more out, but nothing I couldn't clean up with a shop rag. > > Ken Allgood > 97 CC SLT 5.2L
