2010 v6 valve cover torque specs?

[BlackCamSe]

Anyone know the torque specs for the valve cover? Wana pull it and check for sludge and such. Searched and found nothing.

One of the "master techs" told me to hand tighten it. And then go a half turn. Which doesn't help me at all.

that does work...unless your really anal and have to have exactly the right torque specs. That's how i re-installed my struts on my car after switching out the springs, hand tighten and then half a turn and its been a year and never had an issue of anything go loose on me and i have checked it many times.

Yea that's what I did with my struts too. But with the valve cover I don't want any oil leaks or anything.
