this weekend on my '01 9-5 (119,000km). They were LOOSE - half of them weren't even tight to 60Nm, never mind the additional 90 degrees. If you have a car within the VIN range like mine was (see link) think about replacing the bolts - about $40 from site sponsors for a set.
Hardest part of the job was getting the new gaskets to stay in the cam cover - a few dabs of weatherstrip adhesive worked for me.
Also gave me a chance to look at the sludge situation in the top end. Looks just like the photos AussieAero posted recently. This car has had full synth used every 10k km since 55k km, dealer service on factory schedule prior to that. So I figure I'm not in any panic but will look at a treatment with AutoRX to clean things up a bit. I will drop the pan when I replace the center exhaust flex joint (probably coming up in the spring). At the same time I'll install the front sway bar from the roadholding kit (only piece I haven't installed yet).
See http://www.mts.net/~corvair/camcover for more cam cover pics.
