Herr Don - Just for my 2 cents on the topic, I always torque the valve covers and iol pans and haven't had a leak since I started doing this some time ago. I don't know if its because they make better gaskets or covers/pans now, but it works for me. I think I was probably overtightening them in my younger wheaties days.
