Pass valve cover bolt pattern

So I’m putting a new valve cover gasket passenger side and took all the bolts off the cover to clean it and can’t remember which ones went where. Also read they go in a certain order.

any help on which bolt goes where, there long and short don’t know how many of which.

2001 Ford F-150 xlt 5.4L 2 valve

thanks kc

Sorry to say I don't know off the top of my head, however: Take a long bolt, thread it in my hand in every hole, the ones it stops early in are the short holes. Hopefully you discover as many long and short holes as you have long and short bolts.

Come to think of it, you might be able to do the same by sticking a match stick (or similar) in each hole and measuring the depth.
