Most valve cover bolts are not usually very tight. They will be somewhere around 70 to 80 inch/pounds, (8 to 10 Nm).

SOURCE: Saturn SC 98 valve cover torque specifications diagram

you can look up repair guides on autozones repair section, but when i replaced my valve cover on my 98 saturn sc2, I did a alternating star patern like on a tire, and I just tightened it down till I saw the seals from the spark plug wholes plump out just a lilte. I have no leaks and no problems. The torque speks in the book are in inch pounds not foot pounds. So I just did it on my own.

2003 Chevy tracker 2.0 in4 dohc valve cover gasket

With the rubber gasket , you shouldn't need to add any gasket sealant to hold it on. Make sure that the track for it on the valve cover and the surface it sits on, on top of the head are clean.

It is best to replace the grommets on that valve cover by putting them on the bolt first then into the valve cover. This model tends to have issue breaking/tearing the grommets. There should also be grommets for other things like the filler tube and breather tube.

As far as I have ever encountered, I know there is an order to put the bolts back in. I've never use a specific order myself. Most importantly in this model the bolts should be re-installed to 106 INCH pounds. Make sure the torque wrench is on INCH pounds not foot pounds.

Torque specs on valve cover gasket bolts on 1989 Toyota Corolla

I don't have the figure you need on file but i seem to remember the bolts are 6 mm, though it has been a while since I saw one of those cars.
Valve or cam cover bolts aren't usually torqued because they aren't critical and it is a matter of letting experience and good sense prevail.

If a torque figure is really wanted then it will be a matter of just a few pounds-inches. There are charts a-plenty freely available that will provide you with the maximum torque suggested for any size of bolt but again good sense must prevail and the actual figure used in practice, especially if the bolt is oily will be probably only half of the maximum.
For a 6 mm bolt this will be in the region of 25 inch-pounds.
