Be very careful on overtightening all of those bolts. One of the main causes of valve cover leaks is that they were over tightend and deformed the metal cover itself. One of the replies on this thread was suggested to remove the valve cover and carfully pound out the bases where the bolt holes are to make sure they are flat. Over tight can cause more/worse leaks. The torque values should be in the manual, but Im pretty sure they are in Inch pounds, not foot pounds. Good luck on your continuing travels. Good stuff.
