correct torque (lbs/foot) for crank, I , and cam shafts?

I am replacing my t-belt (still) and am finally at the point where I am reinstalling everything. What is the correct torque for the crank, I , and cam shaft bolts. I looked through the FAQ and couldn't find it. I know this has been discussed before but I can't find it. (Should go into FAQ)

Thanks
I can't wait to drive this car again!!!!

crank: pretty damn f*&*ing tight, I think as the other post said or 80ftlb

don't forget to lossen and retorque the t-belt tensioner after starting or a 100 miles. Some people suggest doing so.

Crankshaft pulley torque spec, is in Bentley page 215-5. Do you have a Bentley?

In the newer Haynes manual it's on page 2A-2.

You are correct on the Cam and I-shaft torque, 37lb-ft. The crank pulley is 45lb-ft (60Nm) and then an additional 1/6 turn (60 degrees).

BTW the tensioner nut torque is also 37lb-ft.

Good Luck,

Bob

From what I figure the I and cam (timing belt tensioner too) are torqued to 36-37 foot lbs. I still am not sure about the crank shaft pulley?
