I suggest you replace the stock phillips head cover bolts with stainless steel allen cap screws (6 X 1.5mm thread, 25mm long, 12 qty).
Make sure you replace the bolt seals for all of the cam cover bolts along with the cam cover gaskets. In the event you have not purchased the Cam cover gaskets & bolt seals, you may wish to check out driftmotion.com. They sell the complete set (two cover gaskets & 12 bolt seals) for $21.00 (engine parts section).
Compressed air. Hopefully you have a compressor. When you have the coil pack, intake cross over pipe, & throttle assembly removed, prior to removal of the cam covers, blow the top of the engine off very well. Any debris around the base of the cover will fall into the cam gallery.
Last but not least, Pink Floyd and cold beer make the whole job go sooooo much smoother.
