torque specs for 5 mm bolts
What is the torque value for the bolts that hold the rotor to the cam sprocket?
I've looked through the WSM and searched the forums but can't find it anywhere.

Nice and snug! Put the ratched in you palm, then turn the bolts untill they feel nice and snug. Don't use the hande of the ratchet or they will snap. Do you have a small enough torque wrench. Most start at 10fl/lb and I'm not sure how accurate they are at the very begining of their scale.
If you snap them DO NOT use an easy-out or any other type of extractor, you'll break them too, then it's pretty much game over.

Thanks!
I have one click type torque wrench that starts at 5 ft lbs and an old beam type that might do better but in this application, as you said. since the ends of the range is probably not an acurate measurement I'll go without.
I'll just use a 1/4" drive ratchet and snug it up like you said.

The M 6 bolts only get 8-10 NM or 6-7 ft lbs these little guys M-5 would be less. Plus there is no contact or wear the rotor just spins in the wind they are under no load.

You'll need a 1/4" drive torque wrench that does inch pounds to do it accurately - your 5ftlb wrench runs the risk of shearing one before it clicks (given it probably isn't very accurate at 5ftlbs).
Although from reading above comments, I might be a freak for having used copper anti seize and torquing these to spec
