connecting rod nuts:31.4-37.3N.m (3.2-3.81kg-m)
crankshaft main caps:83.4-93.2 N.m (8.51-9.51 kgf-m)
headbolts: 68.6 N.m (7.0kgf-m) with a max of 90 - 92 after breakin if performing a retightening

word of caution though
there is a special sequence to torquing down the head which requires you to torque to certain specs, loosen and retorque in stages. There are 5 steps to this process to insure you get a good even seal on the head and to help prevent warping.

You really should use the tightening sequence instructions in the service manual to save yourself some headaches.
