    Default M20 thermostat to head torque specs

    I am in the process of reinstalling the head on a 89 525i, a broken timing belt did a number on the valves, and can't seem to find a torque setting for the thermostat housing to head nuts. I'm sure that the bently manual has this, but since i've got the hayes i've got a problem. Does anyone know what this should be?

    for the metricly challenged, that would be?

    edit

    conversion factor is .7376

    so 10nm = 10 x .7376 = 7.376

    This is for the 2 12mmm nuts (m8) that hold the housing to the head not the 3 bolts that hold the thermostat cover. Is this still correct?
