Yeah, also were you, for some reason, remove the stud from the head, note the orientation as it is longer on one side. There is a nut on the stud and the correct end will need to be screwed into the head. I learned this when bolting everything back together. The previous mechanic inverted one, I coudn't get a good torque setting, after much well, colorful language I discovered a cracked mounting point on one of the stud holes, necessating a trip to the bone yard for another one, that did not have the correct linkage mount, and then another trip, and a laid up car for nearly a week. Be sure to take photos of linkage before disassembly. I found the most difficult part reinstalling the cam cover while keeping new gasket on and clean. Happy wrenching.
