Smile Torque Specs for rear rocker box cover on 2007 1200 Custom

Hi,
Just recently noticed an oil leak front the left top corner of the rear rocker box cover on my 2007 1200 Custom. I also just recently returned from a trip from NC to Key West and I'm wondering if the leak could possibly be due to vibration loosening something. I need to know what the torque specs are for the rocker box cover so I can check that before I maybe unnecessarily change the gasket. Thanks!

There was a gasket design change due to leakage, but the torque value for fthe upper cover is 120-168 inch-lbs NOT FT LBS

Here's all the bolts:



Bolts 1: 90-120 inch-lbs
Bolts 2: 10-13 ft-lbs
Bolts 3: 15-18 ft-lbs

The Little bolts on the top rocker cover are 10-13 ft-lbs.

In my manual this is covered under the cylinder head installation section.
