Is there one, or a specified tightening routine? I replaced it and am still leaking, but don't want to go too tight.

If you did not roll the gasket under..... then the valve cover is warped from over tightning it. Take the valve cover off and get a flat file. A big bastard. File down the bottom of each bolt hole. They are separate from the gasket surface. File each one down flat, not a lot. Reinstall using the old vc gasket if it is OK. The cover will now fit tighter.
