I inched forward from 67 ft-lb in 1 ft-lb increments, on all the bolts using this counterclockwise spiral pattern. Two more bolts, #4 and #9 joined the "showing movement club" at 71 ft-lb. For whatever reason, I decided to stop the process at that point. Don't want to turn a non-issue into a catastrophe.
I found a good tool to clean up the hardened sealant from the valve cover groves - bamboo chopsticks. Bamboo is very hard, in this case, just hard enough to scrap off the crud without damaging the aluminum surface. They become worn and useless pretty fast, I went through several pairs of them already and there shall be more of the same tomorrow morning. Look forward to button up the work by noon tomorrow.
Cheers
