Does anyone happen to know please what the torque and order in which one should ratchet the bolts on the rocker cove? 

This is for a 2006 M13A VVT.

Many thanks!

The cover is just M6 bolts (?) and a rubber gasket. No particular order or special torque needed in my opinion. 4-5Nm should do it if its M6.
I would recommend to buy a new special gasket as they turn hard after ten years.

Not to be confused with the cylinder head bolts.
