need torque specs!!!

Hey guys,
Your not roing to believe this! (I drive a 2001 MP3) I was driving home last saturday and driving calmly BTW, When I lost compression in 2 cylinders. yeah that sucks. Any ways I tore down the engine and found out that my japanese intake cam broke in half!!!(boom02) (boom01) (dunno) well I got another cam and took the head off to inspect for damage. Survey say's :

NOTHING!!!

I lucked out big time!!! but any whooo. I need torque specs for the following if any one has them.

Head Bolts
camshaft bearing bolts
intake manifold to the head
upper intake manifold to lower intake manifold


any help would be appreciated!!!
thanks,
Seanahna
 
Nice to see you still around Sean! Hope everything is going well for you (besides the car).
 
sounds like the sequence for tightening the cam down was incorrect or you tightened them up to quickly - ie did the right sequence but tightened each bolt all the way up before moving on to the next

cams are very very strong, but very very brittle.
 
this is what i could find out of the service manual:
hope it helps.

omg call the police, the man wants to know the torque specs, get him in jail right now for copyright infringment, this is a total outrage.
 
torque was correct the first time and the sequence was also!!! The cam was run for at least 35,000 miles before it broke!!! any who Rism you are the shizzle! thank you What is your paypal addy?
