Question Starter bolt torque

After eight months (-3 for being over seas) I got the head put back together from my last little setback here. Thanks to those here that helped and lots of time spent on clarks-garage.

https://rennlist.com/forums/944-turb...ge-inside.html

Now I managed to strip the threads in starter. I will get it drilled out and helicoil it tonight. The problem is I cannot find the torque for the bolts that hold the starter on anywhere. The shop manual doesn't even mention the starter, at least not in the version I have. Nothing in Haynes or Clarks-Garage and I have searched the forums. Any help for this simple problem?

There is a general torque spec vs bolt size in the manual to cover this base.
There is the "all other screws and nuts" torque spec:

M6= 8Nm+2 (6ftlb +1.5)
M8= 20+2 (15 + 1.5)
M10= 40+5 (29 + 4)
