But, i got three shims. When I did a dry fit on the left side cover a couple of weeks ago, the starter got in a bind due to a shim wrongly put on the idler gear. Is is possible the torque gear gets two shims on the outside side and one shim on the inside. The torque gear never came off due to interference with the stator. The shims are all the same size.

I replaced all the valve cover bolts finger tight, then next day snugged them all up starting from the center bolt and worked my way around. After another 24 hours, I torqued them all to 72 in lbs and went to bed. Next day, I torqued all the bolts to 96 in lbs and called it good. Once I get the motor to start, I'll re-torque the valve cover bolts one last time.

Don't do it.......just leave the the head cover bolts alone - they strip and break easily.
