The bolts are kind of a bear to get to. If you can, try tightening them first. They do tend to work loose over time.

Be prepared to spend some time on this job. Make sure you have the complete valve cover gasket set including the grommets and spark plug tube seals. The passenger side is more time intensive than the driver's side. Do both sides.
