off the side of my head I say it is 45lb/feet.
Start at the middle two bolts and slowly work your way back and forth to the outer bolts/nuts.
Do them at 15lb/ft, then 30lb/ft, then final 45lb/ft.
after it has been fully warmed to operating temp and has been driven, recheck them at 45lb/ft. cool

I would recommend that you purchase a chiltons or Motors manual, that way you dont have to worry too much about busting you knuckles after you bust a nut.


Another quality post.

The manual reads, "End clamp bolts 20, center bolts 30 ".

Seon is correct, I looked in my Chiltons and it says as a foot-note, center bolts 25-30 and end bolts 15-20
