I need to replace my Valve Cover gasket on my 1995 SL. Does anyone know the size of the point driver needed for the bolts? I am going to have to beg/borrow/buy the tool and just need to know what to look for. Thanks in advance for your help!

I think its a T-25 or T-30. Just pick up a set of Tork bits from Sears or a local store that sells tools. There are a few othertorx bolts on the car, so eventually you'll need the other sizes.

And make sure you are using the proper gasket and tightening the bolts to the proper torque. And if you have a DOHC engine, in the proper sequence.

 

Huh? isnt the valve cover bolts just sockets. I did it last year so im not really 100%...but they arnt anything special...unless your talking about the cylinder head bolts...in that case you do need the special size. But valve cover bolts arent anything special

 

1991-2002 SOHC valve covers are held on by two big Torx bolts.

1991-1995 DOHC aluminum covers are held in place by torx fasteners while 1996-2002 composite covers use a 10mm bolt.

 

ah i see. I have a 96 so i thought it would be the same as the 95. I am corrected
