LT-1 Valve cover bolts

Hey does anyone know what the proper torque on the 4 valve cover bolts is. I saw some where that its 107lbs that seems like an aweful lot.

use a 1/4 drive rachet and just tighten them(just) past snug.
any tighter you will more than likely snap the bolt or strip the threads.
