upper to lower are just snug tight...don't push it or they will strip. Lower to heads...18-20 for alum...I prefer 18, and up to 25 if you want for the iron heads. The torque on the TB for me was half turn past snug..no spec just reasonable effort with a 3/8's drive ratchet.

no more than 16-18ft lbs. That material is aluminum and will strip out easily with more torque.
