Hi Werner,
You won't find a torque setting anywhere, it was more down to feel or so I am told.
You will also need a crows foot spanner to attach to your torque wrench to get to those hard to reach studs/nuts.

There is a tightening sequence though that you must follow and I usually torque down 10lbs at a time and then leave it twenty minutes before tightening down a further 10lbs etc... I think I end up at around 45 lbs but if you want to drop me an email I will dig out my notes tonight.

My email address is ... cahallett@btinternet.com

Word of warning as well.
Some of the club spec studs are ever so slightly long so be careful tightening down as you could punch through into the water jacket.
