I think he's looking for the torque specks for the bolts.
I saw them someplace, but can't find them now.

You will need to get a manual that will have the torque specks in it. Also it will tell in whitch sequince the head bolts are torqued.

Rod bearing bolts: 40-45
Main bearing bolts: 95-105
Crankshaft pulley bolt: 70-90
Flywheel to Crank. bolts: 75-85
Intake manifold bolts: 32-35

This is from Chilton's repair manual.
