Jeep Driver Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 No they where the side bolts of the valve cover. Don't know how to help you........... The VC bolts will not allow coolant to flow out of them.......if so.......you got serious problems. If you cannot post pics..........?????????............don't' know what to say............

Bold 2........with VC off you started to take out other bolts........so it's not the VC bolts......>>correct? Bold 2.....there are no bolt 'next' to the throttle body, so, you must mean the intake.....correct? The bolts next to the intake are the head bolts......are they big bolt or small bolts? If they are big bolts and they are vertical to the engine block.....you are removing head bolts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
