7.2 lbf-ft.

Tighten in 2-3 step sequence starting from the center to the outer bolts.

For some reason the valve cover bolts strip sooo easy. I did it without a torque wrench once and I stripped almost all of the bolts without realizing it. Man did that turn into a nightmare.

Tried to loosen them...and they just kept turning. I don't know WTF kind of bolts they used for that cover, they are weak as hell. Oh well, I know next time not to take it off until I get a more sensitive torque wrench.
