One MINUTE? No one can do this in a minute. Take it off, clean it up, STUDY exactly where ya want the goo. Theres no oil pressure up there, all it has to do is seal off. AND it needs to be even & thin, because that determines the bearing clearance on the cam to head & head cover. Take some goo & play with it on a smooth flat surface. Practice laying it even & thin, see how long it takes to go from pliable to hard. It shouldnt get hard. If your gasket stuff gets hard, toss it, get something else, IDK if what I have is even still available, but its Great stuff to work with. Wanna say its called Three Bond. Then make sure youve got all the bolts laid out, the upside down one in place, the middle on in the head cover, because it wont go once installed,
If youre grunting tightening these, youre trying to mess up. Ive never used a torque wrench on any of them up there, just a 1/4" ratchet or 10 MM wrench. Thumb by the head of the bolt, pinky & ring finger on the tool, no closed hand, ever./ YOu cant feel the bolt come to the end of its clamping when ya do that. Make a few passes, dont try to make each one tighter, youre just hunting the spot where the goo pressed down some after the last Snuggin Up..
