Message	valve covers back on... things are fine with getting the VTC sols and cover on... come back an hour later per the Permatex instructions. Torquing VTC sol bolts on...

Last type of thing I need as I’m trying to get everything back together. Ugh. I guess it’s my bad for assuming those bolts weren’t fatigued/yielded.
