I don't know anyone who uses any kind of torque wrench to tighten valve cover bolts.
Me too. It's more important to make sure the flange is nice and flat, and if not hammer it flat before installing. Then, just snug on the bolts.

I've been using rubber gaskets instead of cork, I think they work better plus they're reusable.
