Default Valve cover problem!

I could not find how many pounds of torque I should use to tighten down these bolts.


So I did about 20. With a aluminum block I figured it would be ok.

On one of the bolts I felt it give a little bit as soon as it did I STOPPED. I hooked it all back up and reved it and ran the hell out of it and its not leaking or anything, But is it ok or did I strip out somthing that I cant fix?

7 lbs for valve cover nuts. You can change out the stud if you want to fix it right

Will It be ok the way it is? Will I run into any problems?
