GL1000 engine restoration

I'm finally ready to begin to reassemble my engine. It's been completed dismantled, cleaned and all parts are ready to go, except...There are a few parts on the inside of the engine with bolts but no torque values anywhere to be found. For example, breather plate, oil separator cover, primary chain guide all need to be bolted to the right side case. Anyone done this before and can illuminate me :) What are thoughts on using thread lock on internal bolts?

Thanks.

I think the Honda Common Service Manual has general torque values for bolts by size.

Thanks pidjones. I'll have a closer look. Any thoughts on using thread lock for internal bolts?

Most manuals will tell you if a certain bolt needs thread locker.
