Is there a how to for valve gasket 5sfe Options

Was going to do a DIY on the valve gasket. and was needing specs, torque and where to apply rtv on a 5sfe

Well the process is simple just remove the big nuts around the spark plug wells with a socket, I believe it's 30 or 31 mm I don't remember, it's the same size as the axle nuts. As for RTV you don't really need it since it's a rubber gasket, but if you apply it just use it on the corners and sharp bends, mostly just to keep it in place while you re-install the valve cover. The torque specs are pretty low, I don't remember them off the top of my head but they are something like 14-17 ft-lbs (please correct me if I am wrong, been a long time since I was a mechanic lol).
