I recently purchased 2001 s600 with bad oil cooler.
when getting into this job, I noticed cams were in bad shape, purchased another used motor in better condition, still replacing oil cooler while engine is out. QUESTION ... dose anyone know the torque specs on head bolts.
also the crank bearing and cam holders torque specs

This should get you halfway there

You need the special cam holding fixture while undoing and retorking the sprocket bolts; the chain is not designed to hold it while torquing.

The head bolts must be measured before re-using; they are "stretch" only, not "yield".

Pinkster can provide you with the complete WIS for this job, you must folloe the steps implicitly.

Been there, done it!

Buying a CL600 with this oil cooler leak issue, tried searching for Pinkster on the forum but can't find him/her/it. Any reference to the WIS docs?

Well, having done this job 8 or 9 years ago, I advise you to first get the WIS, and follow it to the letter!
You cannot do without it.
You can search my experience here and the other forum under my nick.
At least 40 hours+.
You need a lot of tools.
Good luck!

As you can see from the torque table in post #2, this torquing is not for the faint of heart.
Sequence is critical!
