I own a 1994 Saturn sl1, and I need to change my valve cover gasket.
I have done thise before and know how to do it, but I have never seen a gasket that is attached by star bit screws.
Could you please tell me the size of the screw driver I need so I don't have to but 15 different ones to do a 2 dollar job?
Thank you very much.

The bolt's that hold the valve cover down is a torx T-40 you will need to buy that in a 3/8 drive socket. The best gasket to get for the job is the felpro rubber gasket all you do is scrape all the old silicone out of the valve cover and place the new gasket in and put it back together no silicone gluing a silicone gasket like before.
