Question What torques to use on chain housing?

Hi,

I am in the process of putting back the timing chain housing in my '86 930. However, I can't find any specification for torque of the 3 M6 bolts fastening the cam shaft cover under the chain sprocket, or the 5 M8 nuts attaching the chain housing to the block. Would anyone know what torque to apply to these nuts and bolts? I have found in a previous post, some standard torque values for various size bolts. However, I don't know if these "standard" torque values should be used in this case, or if these torques are appropriate for both bolts and nuts. There is a paper gasket between the cam shaft cover and head and another between the chain housing and block. Does the presence of a paper gasket affect the torque value? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
-Juan
