Timing gear cover

What are the torq spec's for those four bolts. And what type of gasket is on there, is it just RTV? Thanks guys, couldn't find it.

Thanks Quintin, I thought it would be more than that. The four bolts are pretty good size. Its the cover the IP bolts into and covers the gear.

if you look in the front of just about any auto repair manual, it has a table of "standard torque specs" by bolt size and grade. refer to that. IIRC those are 3/8" bolts, grade 8, and should have a spec somewhere in the low 30s, but don't quote me on that
