valve cover bolts

Apparently you ignored all those who suggested (recommended) that you draw an outline of the valve cover on a piece of cardboard, then poke holes where the bolts go, then put the bolts in those holes as you remove them.
Since you did not do that, you will have to experiment a bit. Finding the location of two of them will be real easy. There are two locator barrels on opposite corners of the cover. One longer bolt goes in each of them. To find the third location, take your longer bolt, slip it into a hole next to one of the other long bolts. Notice how far it sticks up from the cover. Move it to every other hole until you find the one where you have about half as much sticking out. Now put all the other bolts in and torque them.
