Jake Raby publishes a great book of torques specs that I've found handy.
If you are asking for the torque, it is 10 Nm or 7.5 Ft-lb (according to the Bentley manual I had sitting at my desk).

2nd on the in lb torque wrench. When I installed mine, I tightened wrist tight in cross pattern starting from center. When I went to use the in lb torque wrench I found that I had already hit the 7 (or 7.5) in lbs so I would of over tightened them when I went back to tighten up. Also, buy four 3" long bolts (of same thread size as pan bolts), cut off heads and install them at pan corners as alignment studs so that you can install pan without messing up your seal. Makes install real easy.

Thanks for the mention.
Mr. Raby edited the torque spec manual for www.theknowledgegruppe.com
You can find the books for sale on their site.
Inch- pounds works best for most of the torques found on the 6mm fasteners of these engines.

"Best is to use an inlb torque wrench set to 90inlb"
Most of the smaller Torque wrenches (1/4" drive) are marked in NM and Inch/lbs... Since there is a NM spec (10 NM) why not just use it? Unless your torque wrench doesn't have the markings that is... Just wondering what the preference for inch lbs is about?

Of course NM will work well too.
