1) On my m113k motor....do I torque the cam bridge and lifter bolts to 15nm + 90 degrees or just 10 nm? Kleemann instructions are kinda vague.
2) any break-in after install?

there will be different size bolts throughout the cambridge. the "shorter" bolts, m7x45, gets torqued to 15 nm only. the other longer bolts, m7x84, gets torqued the 10nm + 90 degrees. once you get the bridge out leave all bolts in their place and just lift them up to see which ones are indeed "longer". its a very tedious process for sure! hope all is well man!
Make sure you use cam assembly lube ,do yourself a favor and get the tools off ebay they are cheap enough and make the job easier,when you take the cams out hold them level they will be filled with oil ,will make a mess all over your car if you tilt them

Also make sure each cam has a plug in the back. Its unlikely, but if someone left one out at the factory you'll have no oil pressure.
Ask me how I know that. Lol
