Only supposed to be like 7 lbs of torque, I'd say i put about 8 lbs and it just went click! and i'm like OH SHIT! lol

Thanks m8, any idea where I can get the size specs for the bolts used on a 94 Honda Accord f22b1 valve cover?
ALSO: would it be alright if I temporarily used Permatex gasket-maker in and around the hole for the bolt, to try and hold the bolt in so I won't lose too much oil through it on my trip to Home Depot? lol
