uhm happily snug or about 7-10 inch pounds if u wanna get real technical. u could get a new gasket and some of those hold down tabs or what ever u callem and tighten it they help more coz if u snug one more than the rest without them it can sorta bent the valve cover and cause it to leak and they will spread the load out a wider to help avoid that
