Does anybody know the torquing pattern and how much torque to apply when putting the valve cover back on? I'm thinking of taking it off today and polishing it this weekend.

this should help...

tighten bolts 1, 12, 11, 10, 9, 2 in that order!
then tighten 3, 6, 4, 5. then 8, 7, 13.

tq in 67-89 in. lbs.

From my former working life I would do that at say 25, 50, and then the last torque and go around the last pass until the bults stop turning. I suppose this was obvious and if so I apologize.
