what are the torque spec. for the valve cover bolts, can find it in rebuild book.

Probably isn't a torque spec. Just snug them up so you don't smash the cork gasket or distort the valve cover.

red tractors get 15-20 inch pounds, don't have many green books but I would think that cork don't know what color it's on.
