Anyone know if the valve cover needs to be torqued down to a specific lbs? I've got it off right now and letting it soak in the paint stripper to get that nasty goldish-bronze paint off so I can polish it and clear coat it.

I think its supposed to be like 5-10 lb/ft torque. Basically hand tight, not cranked down or nothing. Remember its an alluminum head, too much and you'll strip the bolt.
