Default Engine Carrier-to-block nut torque?

Anyone know the recommended engine carrier-to-block nut torque? (The four nuts that clamp engine carrier to block.

Since these nuts aren't actively loaded in tension - they're mostly reacting shear loads - it seems safe to go with LocTite + umph-tight.

...Still, if there's a prescribed torque number, I'd love to hear it!

Yup... that is what I did. For me, searching for torque settings for those made no sense... for me at least...

Steve Weiner at Rennsport taught me the concept of GUTZENTEIT. I believe this applies here.

From memory, an M10 fastener is mid-30's lb/ft, and an M12 is mid-60's?
