Does anyone here have those manuals in PDF form? I need one to replace the valve cover gasket on my Max. The FSM is useless to me. I found nothing in it about the valve cover.

That's the regular FSM Factory Service Manual and I have that also but it's useless. I'm thinking of going into a Pep Boys or Autozone right now and taking pictures of the pages that talk about the valve cover gaskets. I'm so cheap.

A quick glance through the FSM produced not only the tightening torque specifications, but the tightening sequence and where to apply the RTV silicone sealant.

I searched the FSM for valve cover and came up with nothing. Maybe I have the wrong one. I looked through it also at the engine repair part.

nismology is correct. it's all in there. you just need to look a little better.
hint: there is no section dedicated to "rocker cover" removal & installation, but the procedure is covered in a related section.

of ots the front valve cover itsall 10mm bolts and has a 1 piece rubber gasket that stays in place you do not need RTV start in the center and work your way out loosening the bolts you do ot need to remove anything else but the wiring harness for the coils you can leave those screwed in if you please becareful when tightening , thoug just a slight tourqe down will do fine

This is incorrect. If you don't apply RTV sealant at the designated areas there WILL be a leak at the main cam bearing caps eventually.
