Gimmie a bit. I'll get a photo of that part of the manual and get you some numbers later tonight, in a couple hours. Have a few things to do, but afterwords I'll get you taken care of.

Alright, official service manual instructions are to tighten the cylinder head nuts to 2.5 kg-m (18 ft-lbs.) and the bolts in the rear to .6 kg-m (52 in-lbs.).
Second pass, torque the nuts to 4 kg-m (29 ft-lbs.) and bolts to 1 kg-m (87 in-lbs.)
Put it together, warm up the engine, let it cool down, then re-torque.

INCH pounds. At 87 ft-lbs you'd snap them for sure.
It's.... goofy. They don't have the torque units standard across the board, so just be very careful when reading what bolt gets what (again, this is straight out of the manual).
