Now that you have the sealant in all four corners, you want to take the valve cover and set it back on top of the valve head. make sure you dont move it around too much when you try to set it.
now you just have to replace the valve head retaining bolts.
I have a shop manual, for the probe, but no where in there does it say that there is a sequence you have to follow for tightening the bolts. so here is what I did just to be on the safe side of things.
after setting the cover, i put the screws in, and just tightened them enough to snug 'em up. then i got out the torque wrench, and started torquing down the bolts. according to the shop manual, you need to torque the bolts to between 5-6 ft lbs.
so this is the pattern i followed to torque down the valve cover.
