Default Cam cover gasket tips (torque settings)

hi all,
I am going to be changing my cam cover gaskets at the weekend and would like to no if anyone has got any tips for changing them that would help.
I have bought a full genuine set from laterial performance.
I would like to no the torque setting for the bolts and where i should put sealer if any on them.

Thank you.

Smear a find amount of sealer on the gasket or head face and also a smidgen on the gasket seat, tighten to 5nm.
