Any tips on how to remove stuck stock valve covers on a good ol' 302 V8 that has been sitting around for years.

got them off with a flat screwdriver, tapping them with a rubber malet did not do the trick for me

How much should I torque the valve cover bolts to? The Haynes manual does not say, it mentions something called "Rocker Cover" I wonder if that's what they call the Valve Cover?
