I haven't been able to find on line, so if someone knows the dimensions of a
valve cover gasket (length, width, width) I would appreciate.

I am now curious and need to calculate!

BTW, 10ft-lbs just for a 1/4-20 seems pretty high.  That should have the
bolt torque sufficient to prevent backing off (once retorqued after gasket
relaxed)

My collection of other peoples Torque info, these 2 agree at 10 ft.lb.

Needs a 1/4 drive torque wrench - you're in the weeds with the tension
spring fully unwound if you use 3/8.
(I have a bunch nor added yet - another roundtuit job)
