valve cover gasket

[s13tomf31691]

ok so obviously im pretty new to this, this is my first car and i need to change the valve cover gasket. its a 1990 hatch with a sohc. i need to get my car inspected..it hasn't been since october, and the guy didnt want to dyno my car because its leaking oil and i knew it was but i just haven't gotten around to changing it

so the question is..someone said something about tension or tightening it after i put it on and i searched and i didnt really find much, any help ?

they were probably talking about torquing the bolts to factory spec. you can find the tightening procedure and torque specs in the fsm.

lol thanks for the help, but that looks like a different language haha. i just took the valve cover off and replace the valve cover and could only get the half moon in the front off and i forgot to use gasket sealer..i hope im not screwed
