Just got an H3X
Hello everyone,
Just got an H3X and I have to replace the valve cover gasket. Does anyone know the bolt pattern and torque specs? I’ve researched and can’t seem to find anything.

On the I5 it is considered a cam shaft cover. Maybe that's why you were unable to find the specs.
The specs should be the same for the 3.5L and the 3.7L.
-Install the camshaft cover bolts and tighten to 89 inch lbs. (10 Nm).
-Check the gap on all of the spark plugs. The gap should be 0.042 inches (1.08 mm). Tighten all of the spark plugs to 13 ft. lbs. (18 Nm).
-Install the ignition coils into the camshaft cover.
-Install the ignition coil bolts and tighten to 89 inch lbs. (10 Nm).
Hope this helps

thanks! Is there a certain pattern I need to follow when putting the bolts back in?

No pattern is mentioned. I like to snug all the bolts down then torque from the inside out.
Remember that's inch pounds. Does not take much to ruin or smush a gasket.
