What year is it?
As I recall, it's 28 ft/lbs. Tighten them first to about 25, in the
pattern shown in the manual, then up to 28 on a final go-round.
My manual is out in the cold garage...

You're welcome. Do you have the manual for it? As I recall, the torque
settings are in the back somewhere. Make sure you have a good torque
wrench. Oh, and once torqued, you need to adjust the valves.
