son of a bitch, I torqued mine to 30, then to 85, but that's newton meters. I over heated my b16 (wire going to temp gauge broke off) and I'm still in the process of getting ---- back together. I dropped one of the cam keys and I think it's in my timing belt cover so I'm working on taking off my crank pulley so I can get it out, what a pita.
