Re: Aq130c Rocker cover gasket torque and sealant...
Generic torque values are on page 5 of the manual. It's important to check the valve cover sealing surface to make sure it's flat without bends or ridges. Use of gasket cement is up to you. It's main purpose is to hold the gasket in place when you put the pieces together and you really don't need it. If you've done any work to the valve train, you'll want to remove the valve cover to recheck the valve clearance after it's warmed up. Gasket shellac could cause the gasket to tear when you remove the valve cover for final adjustment.
To avoid cocking or overtightening, tighten the screws in a crisscross patern a little bit at a time so that you're compressing the gasket evenly
