Does anyone have an opinion on just re-tightening the fasteners to spec about 7 ft lbs. Does anyone know the sequence to tightnen the bolts. ? Thank you in advance
Yes you can try to re-torque the valve cover bolts to 7 foot pounds.
Also check to make sure there's no oil leaking from the breather cover gaskets onto the valve covers.
Here is a picture from a post I did with the correct sequence.
