[V8] TB cover

[R Broberg]

BTDT x2.  Actually, after the first round of trying to remove what someone
else put in there (it was half rounded already), I took a new 6 point socket
and ground it back to where the hex face was absolutely flat. That is, no
round edges or taper.  Then I gently drove it in over the rounded edged
bolt, so it was tight on the bolt.  I used a 3/8 drive impact wrench on it
as that offers less tendency to damage the heads than using manual torque.
