Been having oil smoking off exhaust manifold for a long time. This morning while replacing radiator, heater hoses, and thermostat I found that the front valve cover bolt by coil pack was missing and the next one back was loose. Guess I now know where the oil was coming from. Any suggestions on where to get replacement bolt or recommendations on valve cover gasket. Also any videos on replacement would help. Been a long time since I have been on here but need to get my baby running again.

Found some very similar m6 x1 12 mm flange bolts. Anyone have a torque setting for these? Googled and come up with 7-8 ft lbs but not much else.
