Default Re: gasket

You could take the upper manifold off and re-tighten the valve cover bolts. Chrysler wants you to tighten them in three steps: 40, 80 and then 105 in-lbs and in a particular order. You have 9 bolts, 3 in the back, 3 in the middle and 3 on the front. Starting from the back left hear is the sequence you should tighten them down:
6-2-7
4-1-5
8-3-9
