    Later model manuals (about 1980 up) have a list in the front that show a standard torque value for screw/bolt size. It is to be used whenever a torque is not spelled out in the section or application. Today’s engines use some special bolts/screws in certain applications that take certain procedures (Loctite, etc.) or torquing sequencing. Some require torquing (rubber mounts) letting relax and then torquing again. Exhaust cover bolts benefit from a drop of red loctite so heat expansion doesn’t loosen them in the long run. Just FYI.
