What are the valve cover torque numbers?

I'm sure the numbers are right in front of me but I can't seem to find them in the manual. Anyone know the numbers by memory?

Torque values for valve cover gasket bolts on a '97 LX450.

The factory service manual never had a set torque spec for the valve cover if I'm not mistaken. I'd torque it someting like 5~7 lb/ft.

That sounds about right.
