It is inserted from the underside of the head cover and is loose when the head cover is installed and remains that way untill the chrome head cover is in place.
This bolt only holds the chrome head cover in place.
Ver,
We may be talking about different bolts. I'm talking about this one:
The bolt shown is a bolt that serves double-duty as a head cover bolt AND a decorative chrome head cover bolt. The FSM calls for it to be torqued the same as the rest of the numerous head cover bolts.
If you look closely, you can see that this bolt is situated right at the area where sealant is applied when replacing the head cover. You can clearly see that the bolt passes through a hole in the edge of the head cover.
Of the four bolts that hold on the two decorative chrome head covers, the bolt in question is the only one that actually serves as a head cover bolt.
