I do the same thing to all the nuts and bolts too. Save a lot of headaches and things go together soooo much easier.

I forgot to post these pic's of the CORRECT WAY to tighten the cam cover bolts:
84 inch pounds...

And these, I couldn't find a spec for. They got 65 inch pounds...

As they had to come off anyway to pull the cover, I took a wire wheel to these...

After...

If I wanted to give a rat's butt, I might have polished and painted them.
I prefer to ride.

You said cam cover bolts, I think they are called valve cover bolts. I couldn't figure out how cam cover bolts could EVER get that dirty.
