Hello,
tighten the valve-cover bolts to:
8.5 Nm — about 75 in-lb or 6.3 ft-lb.
Start with the bolts near the center of the cover, then work outward in an alternating crisscross pattern so the gasket compresses evenly. Be very careful here the cover is plastic and the torque is quite low. Let me know if you need anything else.
