I'm putting the finishing touches on my 1998 xj8 timing chains and adjusters project!! Got to the cam covers and saw that I needed 3 duplex bolts on each of the top rows to hold the engine covers in place. Problem is; I have 7 duplex bolts!!!!! Where does the seventh duplex bolt go?? THANKS.

 

I can answer, since I just did this myself. Should be left bank, second from front on bottom, for the dipstick tube.

Also, the book says to torque the valve cover bolts in a sequence, basically center two first, then center bottom then center top, then work your way from center to ends, doing each top and bottom pair as you go outward. 9-11 Nm.

 

Thank you, ttl for your quick reply! It IS muchly appreciated.
