Engine bolt torque setting

Anyone have an Idea of the correct torque of the engine bolts. Thank you

I think since there are no manuals that the agreed upon torque is "tight"

I though many of you based your torque settings off a clymer manual for a similar honda?

The threads in the frame, and the nuts and bolts are too weak for that I think. Jim's right as funny as that sounds. Tight, but not too tight. Slap on a lockwasher and locktite every bolt. Ride and check then repeat. Eventually, everything stays tight.

I own a honda and it's clymer, I still haven't checked torque settings :o , just proper gap settings.
