1977 Johnson 2hp powerhead torque

I am rebuilding a 1977 Johnson 2r77c to correct a vacuum leak and was wondering if someone could tell me the torque specs for the bolts in the powerhead. I found a post saying the cylinder head bolts should be 60-80 in/lbs but couldn't find anything for the rest. I took it completely apart so I need specs for connecting rod screws, reed housing, lower bearing carrier, exhaust cover, and where the powerhead bolts to the leg.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You will find a table of bolt torques ( where specified) in appendix A3 in the manual on the Boatinfo website ( Sorry MarineEngine will not allow me to post a link)

Also a table of torque vs bolt size when not otherwise specified
