94 Aero valve cover leak and loose head bolts

I need to change the Valve cover on my 94 Aero and I also beleive I may be getting a small amount of oil leakeing from the head gasket. the 2 12mm bolts on the outside of the head 9timming chain side were very loose so i just snugged them up for now, I have no coolant issues just 1 or 2 drops of oil a day under the car. so since I am going to change the valve cover gasket I will probably check the head bolts, i have found many posts on this but no acctual specs on the head bolts for tightening, I assume I need to looses and then tighten them but what are the specs in FT lb's and then i get the last 90 degree's. on Audi they recomend on used bolts to do the last 90 degrees in 2 steps 1 of 45 degrees and the last in 35-40 since the bolts are already stretched. is this also heard of on the Saabs?
