So I finally finished polishing my covers, and got my valves adjusted just right. So now a few questions:
When rimontaggio coperchi valvole, the manual says to always renew o-rings. Mine look to be in good shape, can I re-use them, and what is the recommended lube?
In the service manual torque settings (p.29) I see "rocker cover screws M6x1 10 9 11" no grease or lock indicated. <-- is this my cam cover? There was red lock on removal, do I need it, or should I tourque dry, or torque greased?
Pick of finished polishing

Pick of sweet new "bench buffer"

Rocker covers, re-use the O-rings if they're not damaged, a *very* light coat of grease works well.
Not sure what the OEM red lock actually is, I'd put it's strength ~ like Loctite blue.
I don't put Loctite on valve cover or cam endcap bolts.
