Data point - M6 bolts.
Thx, Ollie...
Ok, I got the Bentley Service manual off the shelf. Camshaft Cover bolts are M6 x30mm as stated on p15-5
I have a box of 100 M6x16mm zinc coated bolts in the garage, grade 8.8 (lowest grade I could find at local fastener place in bulk) - I use them as shear bolts in a big Honda Snowblower to protect the auger transmission.
Mounted a nut in my vice, and put a washer on it, and set my torque wrench to 145in-lbs (about 12ft lbs)
Tightened and loosened it 20x, no signs of failure. Dry fastening.
Reusing it a couple times, won't lead to failure.

PS. MarcW, The camshaft I think is in it's own carrier, independent of the cover. At least it was when I checked valve clearance on a motor.
