<< I have a new gasket, I know the valve cover to cylinder head torque spec
is 
 10ftlbs and I have done a similar job on my Porsche 944.
 
 Just checking with "the collective wisdom" to see if there are any tricks
that 
 help, or pitfalls to avoid.  I will be attacking this job Sunday morning,
and 
 will check in just before I get dirty.

Just did mine (+ lifters) yesterday.....
clean the cover, use the rubber seal not the cork, clean the surface of the
head, clean the nuts, the studs and torque to spec....  I've found that a
little silicone on the stud threads right b4 install maintains the torque
till you do them agin....
