    M6?

    At a guess about 8-12 newton metres.

    off the top of my head its 11nm

    i do them up with a 1/4 ratchet, pinch them up. run the car and then go around again nipping them.

    tighten too much and the gasket will split and leak, not enough and the gasket will just leak

    Link bellow will give you torque settings for the bolts, but the material the bolts made from will have an effect. Ill take a punt they are standard 8.8s so 10.4 Nm, or as swampy posted 11Nm will do the job nicely
