In terms of valve cover gaskets the Saab 2.3 is as easy as I've ever seen, some V6 and V8 engines require removal of lots of stuff to get the valve cover off. I only have the torsion bar type torque wrench and 11 lbs wouldn't register much, with that small amount of torque I'd be surprised if the tightening sequence makes much different so long as one tightens them down in several increments and not all at once.
This is not the 1st time I've been able to reuse the old valve cover gasket on the Saab but when you resuse it it definately needs more than 11 ft/lbs.
Oh yeah I also get 30k or more miles on my copper plugs, regap and reinstall.
