Valve Cover bolt torque 280 se 4.5

I am reinstalling my valve covers with new gaskets and washers. How tight do I pull the bolts? Thanks, Charlie.

when copper crush washers & runner gaskets are involved....torque specs are VERY low.

On the M116/117 engines 3Nm is the correct value. about 25 inch pounds.
