Camshaft housing to heads torque

[vouvray]

For some reason, my rebuild manual does not list the torque specification for the cam housing nuts. Does anyone know this off the top of their head? I started to torque them to 21 ft.lb., but thought it better to check first.

From the spec book: All bolts on crankcase and camshaft housing -- M8 25 Nm 2.5 kpm

All standard M8 nuts rated DIN 8.8 get 18 lb-ft ... not 21 lb-ft!

Thanks.
