Either way, snug is good. Just tighten them down evenly!! Hope you bought good gaskets!

RE: need help with valve cover.

you can snug them but snug them in a pattern so the gasket sits right . first start with the two middle ones and then do a crise cross pattern and work your way around the valve cover for a good seal. a snug dont go it to hard you will crack the gasket .
