I was looking at some parts on Pelican Parts and noticed it says there should be 4 Pan Head Screws (SHORT) and 9 Pan Head Screws (LONG) for the total of the 13 screws...I look at what I took off and see 8 long ones and 5 short ones...



What am I missing? Should I suddenly feel quite silly for not remembering which screw goes where? I had thought the short ones just went in the corners...



Also - I went ahead and got a new gasket and plug seal rings...is there anything I should put on these during installation? Some sort of extra sealer or lubricant or whatnot?



Thanks!!

8 long, 5 short is what I have as well. I need to figure where they go again too. I had them neatly arranged in a box, but the wife commadeered the box to ship a present and left the bolts in a pile. Thanks honey! <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/blink.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />



I put RTV sealant (Permatex Ultra Grey or similar) on the corners of the gasket. I would put a small amount on the bottom of the plug seals too.

Once you get the valve cover back in place and peer in the holes, it is pretty clear which need longs, and which need shorts.
