    not really, but your not supposed to drive with it in the oil for more then 200 miles, most just avoid that part. being your pissing oil id not worry about it so much now.

    theres one bolt thats longer then the other for the alt, if you took them both out, mixed them up the long one can punch a hole in the back corner of the valve cover. but i think that would smoke a lot from oil hitting the rear exhaust manifold.

    Yeah, the oil is all pissed out now. But I'll never do that again.

    So if I did confuse the alternator bolts and did indeed "punch" a hole in the valve cover, how do I fix that?
