Not much of one...................remember to install the center 'hidden' screws before installing the small cover over the mid-section of valve-cover. I like start all of the screws to make sure they are in the correct holes, then tighten the  central units before I snug the outer units.  If your using original screws, a JIS screwdriver is recommended.

thanks

seems odd that there isn't a pattern.
maybe because the torque is so low?
