Where do these studs go on the valve cover?

[Ian]

So I'm stupid and I didn't put my valve cover bolts in cardboard so i could just put them back where they go. Could anyone tell me where the studs go on the valve cover? I've been looking but all I've found was like a 99 and it had like 6 studs where i only have these 2 pairs of 2 different studs. I have 11 of the regular bolts and there's 15 holes so it adds up.

My '04 has 6 or 7 studs. Someone must have replaced some of yours.

Do you know what studs are actually important? There's a plastic bracket at the back that's been annoying me the whole project and i know 2 studs are used for that.

I'll need to look later, but anywhere a bracket, cable support or something like that needs a place to attach would need a stud. Other that that I don't see much need for them.

I just did this last night. What a horrible job too. Don't know if this will help, but here's my cardboard thing.
