Thumbs up Coolant line torque specs

I'm just assembling my engine after coolant line welding. Does anyone have the torque spec for the coolant flanges where they meet the head upper and lower?

Also - Does anyone know of a one stop source for all the torque settings for this engine? I've been pulling them out of the shop manual but might build a google sheet if nothing exists.

The regular bolts on the engine sometimes don't have torque specs listed individually. In that case there is a general torque spec:
M6 bolts 10nm (7.5 ft-lb or 90 inch pounds)
M8 bolts 23nm (17 ft-lb)
Obviously hardware like conrod bolts and cylinder head bolts have their specs listed individually. I think I used my inch-pound torque wrench more on this engine than at any time in the past!

i find this to be generally helpful.
