Significant Technical Input
the valve cover bolts have a shank on them, they won't over compress the valve cover gaskets; over torqueing is just bad for the bolts/heads. Like Tom said, if you didn't change the gaskets on the bolts they are probably leaking for just that reason--the shank on the bolts won't let you tighten down on the already compressed gaskets, they have to be new.
