If those are the 10mm head, 6mm thread, then 6-7 ft/lb. 72-84 inch pound. 4(?) NM

I see now. For some reason I failed to find table 2 on 163 and not finding it thought it must be referring to table 2 on page 20 under General Information. Doh!
My bad.
Still, they couldn't put the value in line with the text for step 22 on page 158?. Or at least provide the page number for table 2?

Step 22 could have easily read "Using a crisscross pattern, tighten the clutch bolts to X lbs.
Instead of "Using a crisscross pattern, tighten the clutch bolts to the torque specifications listed in Table 2.

It's 6 less words to just put the value in line and save having to go to another page. Seriously anal retentive authors...

I've been using Clymer manuals since the early '80's. They aren't always the best, but they are consistent - torque tables are always at the end of the chapter. I guess so it's easier to edit.

The bolts are 10mm. It wasn't an unusual torque value for the size.

Philthy,
Common mistake. Fasteners are described by their thread diameter, not wrench size.
Most 6mm bolts are 10mm wrench size. 8mm are either 12 or 13. 10 can be 14, 15, 16, or 17.
And so on.
I remember once a student in my bike class announced that all the motor mount bolts were defective, and had broken when he torqued them. Turns out he was going by the 12mm wrench size instead of the 8mm thread diameter. Instant two piece bolts!
oooops

I'm really not trying to be a smart ass. But I seldom use a torque wrench.

I have worked on bikes, cars and anything else that happened to get in my way for many years. Never break a bolt or strip threads. What am I doing wrong? Perhaps on a cylinder head or something like that I would use one but routine work never. Maybe somebody up there likes me?

I am not plagued by leaks or anything else on my stuff. Ignorance is bliss I suppose.

True confessions, I'm with you Norm. Use torque wrenches for stuff like cylinder heads.
A lot of the stuff I work on is old, and have had more hands on them than a drunk hooker at a frat party. Doing by feel allows me to feel the threads/fastener to stretch. Many times the right torque spec on old stuff means ripping the threads out. Loctite is your friend on old stuff.
And every now and the the manuals are wrong. I could bore you with examples, but I've busted lots of stuff using torque specs.
For a beginner, a torque wrench is a good way to develop a sense of how tight is tight enough. When I teach my class and have folks torque bolts to spec, they almost all say they would have over-torqued the 6mm fasteners and under torqued the 10mm ones.
