Ok so my old, grey dodge with the 4.7 (2002) sits on the lot and looks pretty. I decided to get into it since ihave the next few days off and i decided to spruce up the engine bay since thats about the only thing left that isnt immaculate. so i pull the valve covers, and bring them back to my house and prep them for paint. well the bolts on the valve covers arent really meant to come out, but with a few taps of the mallet they come out. now the bolts have to go in specific holes because there are 2 different types of bolts. now i had them set up on the floor in the proper spot but i guess a few got kicked out of place, so i figured i would look at the valve cover on the other side and match it to that....well theyre not even the same layout....so if someone can get me a detailed picture of their valve covers so i can see which spot has a long or short bolt, or better yet if someone can find me a diagram? ive searched and searched and just cant find it lol....thank god i have another truck, or id be stuck lol. thanks in advance for the help!

 

uhhhh.... BUMPITY to the TOP!! no one can take a pic of theyre 4.7 Valve covers???? need help guys!!!

 

stupid minnesota cold...hold on lemme put my slippers on. cant say they'll come out well but ill try for ya

 

you dont have to do it now brother lol...i wont be putting it back together until sunday.... but i do need to know what goes where haha! thanks!!!

 

eh, my dumb *** already went out for some pics tho i dont know they'll help at all, couldnt see anything in the dark. i can try for some better ones in the daylight

 

Thanks a lot man! looks like im gonna need some type of diagram or something. maybe a trip to the dealer tomorrow for a diagram...

 

good luck!

 

ya...ill have to look at the bolt itself.....because it looks like yours uses the same bolt all the way around....and these....well they look like the part that bolts into the head.....looks the same length and everything....just the top of the head is different if that makes sense. ill try and snap some pics tomorrow...

 

like studs or actual head bolts? hmm... i dunno googled a lil myself to no avail but let us know what you find out and maybe we can help

 

ill go snap a pic of the 2 different types of bolt right now...theyre not studs...theyre bolts
