I'm going to be hydro dipping my valve covers (or whatever you call them). Anyway, are there any other gaskets I'll need besides the valve cover gaskets? Is there a specific torque I'm suppose to be tightening to? It looks pretty straight forward because it's held down by Phillips head screws.

You also need the half moons at the back, new grommets, plus 2 gaskets between the turbo compressor outlets and the charge pipe, because the charge pipe needs to come off and the old gaskets are likely in pieces. You will also need gasket sealant or gasket maker especially for the half moons at the back.
