To answer your questions in order:
1. 16 lbs-ft (22 Nm)
2. Special? If you are reusing the tensioner, remove the the tensioner, remove the bolt on the back. Extract the spring and plastic pin. Lift up the ratchet on the tensioner so that you can push the plunger back into the body of the tensioner. Screw the tensioner into the head using a new seal. Insert the plastic pin, the spring into the tensioner. Screw the cap back into the tensioner. Using a long screwdriver push the guide slightly to release the plunger. (I am assuming you have the chain installed correctly at this point. If you aren't sure, do some research.) 47 lbs-ft (63 Nm) for the tensioner body and 16 lbs-ft (22 Nm) for the bolt on the back. If you have bought a new tensioner, it is already cocked with a wire holding the plunger back. Pull the wire pin after the tensioner is screwed in.
3. The well known auction site has them, as does Swedish Dynamics.
4. Looking at the head from the front:
8-4-1-5-9
7-3-2-6-10
To explain: start with the two center bolts then the two bolts to the left, two bolts two rows to the right of that, etc.
Search the board for the torque sequence. It is two torque wrench sequences then an angle tightening specification.
5. Just pay the $13 for a tube of the correct stuff. Loctite 518 or the equivalent Permatex anaerobic sealer. I have yet to find an auto parts store that doesn't carry it. One tube will do both the timing cover and the oil pan.
6. Haynes has a manual for the 9-5 that is just like every other Haynes manual: adequate, but maddeningly spotty. You can also by a bootleg copy of the WIS (Workshop Information System) from the auction site that cannot be named.
Out of curiosity, did you remove the engine to get at the timing cover?
You might consider renewing all of the guides, the timing chain and the balance shaft chain before you button up the timing cover. Those things stretch and can cause problems later on.
Good luck.
