    Default torque adjustment values for 520i e34

    Hi everybody, I'm new to the forum so first of all I will introduce myself. I am the proud owner of a 520i e34 BMW, the one that wrongly many people consider underpowered; unfortunately this model wasn't sold in the States but only here in Europe, but I think it's quite similar to the 525i, for instance, in many aspects, so I hope some people here could be able to help me out, I have noticed so knowledgeable guys around here ;-). Recently I had an overheating problem due to the waterpump being faulty, and also the thermostat was broken; I bought the car sencond hand just a few weeks ago, so you can imagine. The consequence of this is that I nearly broke the engine (I was driving at 140 km per hour in the highway, it's a matter of seconds to break the engine). I had to replace all the gaskets above the head, the waterpump, the thermostat and the radiator, among other things.

    The problem now is that I don't know the torque adjustment values for the head, connecting rods and camshaft. I have been reading and searching in this forum but I haven't found anything regarding this issue, forgive me in case I haven't seen it. I will appreciate any help.
    Thanks.
