Need advice on replacing valve cover gasket on 1994 2.3l engine. What is the torque spec for those bolts and pattern to tighten them up? It looks a little wet around the gasket outside, but not dripping in anyway. Not sure this is normal for a truck that has 360K miles (Lol) or just need to tighten those bolts up a bit.

Please advise.

I doubt you can stop the seepage, but tighten to about 8 ft/lb. Just about what you can do with a screwdriver if you try real hard.
If you want to stop the leak, get a rubber gasket. The cork and cork/rubber gaskets seem to allow things to loosen, and oil to leak out.
I have used a 'wobble ended' extension to allow the socket to fit onto the bolt heads without being exactly straight on. The upper intake seems to need a bit of angle to get to the bolts.

Gee ... My torque wrench starts at 10 ft-lbs to 150 ft-lbs.

Good excuse to grab another one.
