removing cylinder head cover??

I had cams installed in my bike back in April at a shop. Last couple of times I have started my bike up somke came up from inside my fairings for a few seconds then stopped. I took the fairings off cleaned everything up and ran it, couldn't find a leak. Took it out and when I got back, nothing. Finally it came back and I found it, it's coming from the Cylinder head cover. I was debating on bringing it back to the shop since he had this cover off but decided not to deal with it and just replace it myself. Now for my big question. Do the throttle bodies need to come off. From my initial look I wouldn't think they do, but I am not expert. Also do the spark plugs need to come out?

Two more things.
1. Is there anything other than the seal that goes in there like RTV or anything?
2. What is the torque on those 6 bolts if anyone knows that.

Thanks for your help in advance.
 
OK, so I got the cover up high enough to replace the gasket. Now here is the kicker. After I get it on the cover and the bolts are hand tight I found my manual. It tells me that I need to put "suzuki" sealant on the cam ends of the gasket. I take it I need to get something to put on there now huh? What can I use in it's place? Is there any reason I don't need to worry about doing this?
