Should all valve cover bolts have washers?
When I tighten down the valve cover bolts in x pattern the bolts start to eat into the valve cover. I haven't got near 11Nm yet.
Only the 2 bolts that hold the spark plug leads have washers on my valve cover.

Yes. Each rubber seal should have a metal washer on top of it.
