   2ltrs is what it wants. Clutch pressure bolts i cant remember off the top of my head.
   I just do them so they are tight and judge by hand

   8Nm or 20Nm comes to mind - have been wrong before though

   I don't have a haynes manual strapped to my arm so can't say for sure.
   
   I'm getting a bit more lazy nowadays with torquing normal bolts on my car, can normally feel how tight they are.
