[s-cars] Valve Cover Gasket procedure? Also my '95 S6 for sale in NYC.

[jpb3]

Azeem,

I torqued them up in star pattern or the best I do with the layout but
always tightening opposing holes. I think the torqe requirements are
small, maybe 15 ft/lbs but I am not certain, I just tightened by feel.

I forgot about the mallet, mine too needed some persuasion.   I did
this about 2 years but need to do it again so its been on my mind.  I
ordered from Blau then and my kit definitely had all the pieces,
including 2 half moons.
