Mine is a LFX I don't need to do that.
I recommend the AT 205 to prevent leaks, it will help the rubber seals from drying.

So was your solution the loose timing chain cover bolt? Or do you think the additive fixed it? (from my experience with cars, I've never seen an additive be anything more than a very short band-aid, at best).

Any idea what the cover bolt torque specs are? Glad it's all settled for you.

I didn't use a torque wrench, I just tries the others and this particular one moved with very little force so I kinda let it on the same level as the others.
This AT-205 is something else, it rejuvenates the rubber, i recommend doing a little research on it.
I don't know what solved the problem but I know the AT-205 is good for preventing rubber parts to go dry, it's a polimerer so it does not damage them or your engine.
