I have lost a couple of valve cover screws on my O-360. The last time I pulled the cowling there was one gone, one backed almost all the way out, and many a bit loose. I have replaced the missing ones with SS screws from Lowe's Aircraft Supply.
A few questions:
1) Where can I purchase the correct valve cover screws, or does it matter what I use? I'd like them all to look the same.
2) Can I put a dab of blue Loctite on the screws to secure them?
3) What is the proper torque for these screws?
Thanks,
