Guiderail Crankcase Pin Torque?
Looking for the torque of the timing chain guiderail locating pins that bolt to the crankcase. Ive searched WIS back and forth and I've found the guiderail pulley (the bolt that left hand threaded and thats 58Nm). WIS has "Bolts, top of Guiderail" - quite obscure description - and has 20Nm - sounds reasonable for an M8.
Just not sure though anyone put me out of my misery?

Edit: surge tanks are 9 N-m torque. Intake is 20 N-m torque. That's the same torque value as the M8 M6 bolts on the surge tanks.
I had the same confusion (unclear parts names/descriptions) when removing and reinstalling rear air springs. Sometimes it seems a bit gets lost in translation from the German to the English language.
