For some reason 3 screws just keep turning and never tight? Personal preference here. "Install 11 bolts w/ washers & grommets at cover perimeter, and 4 bolts/studs w/ washers & grommets at cover center (10mm socket 3/8" / 3/8" ratchet & extension).

Lifetime warranty, don't have to worry about broken bolts, and you know it's not cracked from heat cycling. Someone might have stripped them before you and just left'em in there that way. 1962 Springfield Gem. N54 valve cover torque pattern. I believe it is very low. I remove it in my car already. The top nut must be completely removed, but the bottom one just needs to be removed ~80% of the way. That need to tighten to the specification of the manual.
That's why the vcg was leaking? You don't have to remove injectors. Use a 7/8 socket to press down on them to fully seat them. Using the glycerin (as spec'd) seems pretty smart.

I buy socks from Amazon. So i just tighten it so that it feel a little tight is OK. because it is just a valve's cover just to prevent the engine oil. So it's sticky enough to keep the gasket in the VC valley, but still slippery enough to prevent it from binding up when tightening (similar to lubing an oil filter gasket). I believe it is 10nm. I've comapred between getting it hand tight and torquing it to the proper amount (I think it's something like 6-8 lb-ft) and the washers are compressed a lot more if you just hand tighten it. It took me ~5 passes before the bolts stopped loosening after I tightened the other bolts around them. The tighten torque is not available for me too. Spec is 89 in lb, 7.
