Valve cover bolts
Quick question... should the valve cover bolts have washers on them? I've got my engine back together but the cover is not snug and I can't remember if there were washers on those bolts or not. I'm assuming there should be since the bolts won't thread any deeper... but I figured I'd double check here.

IIRC, the torque spec is only 9 ft-lb... now I've gotta figure out what's going on with my valve cover. Probably something stupid that I overlooked... but before anybody asks... Yes, I did remember to put the gasket on.

Ok, I took a second look at the manual (when in doubt, read the instructions, right?) and there are rubber "isolators" that fill the holes in the cover... so that means one more trip back to Cummins...

Yeah, they go under the head of the bolt, the washer you were looking for. The bolt will bottom out in the proper installation and the rubber will sink into the valve cover.
