Valve cover torque specs?

What are the torque specs for the valve cover on an '88 CRX DX? I did a search but it didn't find anything useful...

It's 7 lb-ft. Be careful not to over torque them, as they will break the bolt very easy.

I rather not tq them. Seems too scary to use a tq wrench. I just hand tight with one hand only.
