im pretty sure its 20FT/lbs... someone correct me if im wrong.... they are 8mm bolts...

all i did was tighten it as well as i could with one hand.... then used 2 hands to turn like an extra quarter turn.... as i do spark plugs and other things i dont want to over tighten.

Now the outer 2 bolts on each side... like the 2 on the cap over your cam plug... and the other very outside 2 closest to the timing belt... are only like 8ft/lbs.... and are 6MM bolts...

its 7.2 ft/lbs or lb-ft, however you say it, for a non-VTEC (B18A1, or B18B1).

The GS-R is not much different. There are two different torque specs depending on what bolts they are. I know one of them is 7.2 as well though.
