just tighten each bolt bit by bit, too 8nm, which is hand tight a LITTLE nip if you dont have a torque wench

and we normaly use black sealant on the end caps

remove and refit the cam seals, only 3 quid each. as for the cam gasket replace that as well. make sure you tighten the cam cover bolts up in the correct sequence and to the correct tightness, so many people over/under tighten them in the wrong sequence!

remember to put a smear of hermatite red in the correct places as well, mainly against the end cam bearing caps where they meets the head, ensuring not to block the oilways.
