Anyone know the bolt size to the valve cover fasteners for the 5.0 engine? I may have a slight leak in the rear gasket area passenger side only that I can see from underneath and smell burning off the headers. Ironically enough that's the side I had to use a few bolts from a hardware store as I lost a few of the originals into the pit of darkness never to be seen again when installing some powdercoated covers. I'm wondering if the hardware bolts aren't sitting as flush as they should be even though they feel tight causing the leak. I'm looking at ARP fasteners as a replacement and I'm using the blue rubber fel-pro gaskets as well.
