Mike,
        Just went through the same drill on my '74 2002tii. Hand tight just
didn't stop the leaking. Haynes calls the valve cover a rocker cover and
specifies 8ft lbs. Also checked BMW service manual couldn't find specific
#'s for value cover, but specifies 8 ft lbs for timing chain covers. Manual
does have tightening sequence for value cover nuts.

                    right front

                6       2       4

    rear                           7    front

                3       1       5

                    left front

        #'s are value cover nuts.
