Factory says 44 lbs-inch which is a very small amount.
It works though. Using cork gaskets, I would glue the gaskets to the head (but not to the valve cover) with RTV and then torque them down to the 44 inch lbs setting using an inch lbs wrench. Let them set for 12 hrs, or so, and then retorque to the same setting.
Then crank the engine and let it get hot. Turn it off, let it cool down and retorque again. Check them every day or so for a few days. Should work.
Be sure the ends of the intake are not leaking analso the turbo drain line at both ends.
And the fitting into the block where the sending unit (or gauge) for the oil pressure screws into the block
