just tighten them all finger tight for you dont destroy the gasket then go over them with a ratchet

3-5 ft-lbs

Its listed as "rocker arm (valve) cover" in the chilton's manual torque specs in chapter 3.

depends on gaskets though....cork with metal lam are the best....i have two sets of rubbers...didn't care for them.
