Thanks. I did go ahead and get the top gaskets for the rocker cover. I also ordered the rockouts last night after we got home from the concert.

I don't see in the manual to use blue lock tight on the rocker bolts, do you use any?

You're right about the manual not saying, kinda odd.I've heard experienced engine builders say yes and no. If you use it just make sure the threads are clean & rid of the factory stuff.

If it's a concern the dealer sells new bolts for $1 each... they have some kind of dry "thread patch" on them.

I didn't use any for 3 reasons.
One, the manual didn't mention it.
Two, I didn't see any on the bolts from the factory.
Three, I've never used it on rocker bolts in a car engine.
