Borken Valve Cover Bolt
Broke the pass. side front valve cover bolt. Ive heard of guys leaving out the hard to reach rear bolt, think I can leave out this bolt without oil leakage?

Judging by the OP's prior posts... they either working on a 04, 07 or 08 F150. Or something else.

If you have it torn down that far, I'd fix it right.
