alright cool. yeah jesse called me like at 1 am and explained what i should do. exactly what you guys are saying. im gonna get the valve gasket kit and the bolts ordered soon. but what do the bolts have to be torqued at to seal them up correctly like oem??
and i see that there are two different sized bolts for the valve cover. how many do i need of each???

the performance wasnt lost it seems. well only at a stop i can notice this issue. while gasing it down the streets thru the gears the car was moving just fine. hmm...

the car wasnt sputtering i guess. it just sounded weird. its hard to expalin the sounds in words. lol. but THANK YOU all.
