Haynes manual lists them all in the appropriate sections.
Cam cover bolts are 8nm. and NO MORE!

Not many torque wrenches go down to 8Nm, so you may need to borrow one.

Not using torque wrench will distort covers, causing them to leak.

myn goes to 8nm,i was very carefull to make sure i tightend all bolts and not over tighten, checked a week later and one was leaking around the bolt o ring, re torqued, it was quite loose, maybe 5nm but more than finger tight.
I then wondered if i remembered seeing something about re torquing after a week or so??? :-/ after the seels have compressed a bit. I did not look into it further as it did not cause any further probs. and i later sold the car.
