Flexplate bolt torque specs (or link to all torque specs for Slug)

[wheming]

Trying to prepare for installing the shortblock, and I can't find the torque spec for the flexplate bolts.
Thought they might be in KC, but no luck in my searches. And no luck through google yet.

Anyone with the manuals handy?
If you could scan the page for engine/tranny torque specs that would be super-duper!
I really need to shop for some manuals!

Thanks in advance!

Blue loctite tighten until engine turns over then smack wrench with hammer a couple times

sweet!
I just guessed and did 60 ft-lbs.
I'll bump them to 65.

and Gus would have had Louie our mechanic do it! And Louie probably would have torqued them with the impact gun!

How about camshaft bearing cap torque?
Going to need this when I put in Mini's new stock cam.
