a few torque figures

Connecting rod cap 300kgcm
crank cap 500kgcm
cylinder head bolt 700kgcm
camshaft cap 230kgcm
flywheel 1050kgcm
crank pulley - 1150kgcm
cam volt/bolt 570kgcm in addition
6 mm volt/bolt 120 - 110kgcm
8 mm volt/bolt 240kgcm
10 mm volt/bolt 450kgcm
Tightening inside the engine with the 120kgcm, it increases 6 mm volt/bolt

(thanks to Adrian)

The use of thread lock is never recommended on aluminium conponants.
