It comes with new aluminum bolts for the breathers too, just have to reuse the cam sensor bolts or buy new if you like spending money, which you do if you bought new valvecovers.
Does anyone have the part number and quantity for the cam sensor bolts? I suspect mine may have started weeping again after the PO just replaced the gaskets, thinking about going this route and just ordering 2 new valve covers instead of replacing the gaskets and bolts/grommets.
