I make sure male and female threads are clean using brake
clean. Then a little locktite, then pretty darn tight, then
careful wiring with lockwire–

Dale,
In the absence of anything else, I just look up the recommended
torque spec for a fastener of that diameter/thread pitch/material
grade in one of the many tables available on line.

Thanks for the comments on torque for the cam plate on the
front of the cam. I sure do not want to break that bolt
which would require removing the cam and drill out.–
